Hey... this is Crazy...

Yep, so, yesterday was Canada Day.

We had a really good service at church. Hehe. 9:30 am. joint communion / worship. Then AL's brother gave a sermon on Noah and how he followed God's commands to build the ship exactly as told even though it may have sounded crazy, completely changed his life, it may have never rained to this point, a lot of things. But instead of changing it and making maybe a small comfortable boat, he stuck with God's plans trusting that they were the best. AL's sermon started off with an anecdote about his office and the fact that his coworkers were remarking how delightfully traditional he was in his marriage having never lived together nor slept with his fiance before marriage. In our society a lot of what the Bible says goes against our cultural norms and may seem 'crazy' and it's only going to get worse, but we shouldn't abandon God's word nor twist it to suit our purposes. Why do you think Noah followed God's plans? He had walked with God, knew His character and trusted in Him not knowing what would happen, but knowing that God knows best. We need that kind of relationship too so that we can trust in Him and see His plans through wherever He may lead us.

=D

When AL said he was gonna preach on Noah I laughed a bit because that's what he has been doing ever since he started preaching; going bit by bit through Genesis. But it was a really good and really applicable sermon, so I was very grateful that we weren't talking about 'seeking the welfare of the city' again until next week. Haha.

Anyways, Canada Day plans? Not very well planned. lol.

I went with AL, A and ML and NE to the Jazz Fest for a bit then I met NYC at Rideau at 2 and SC shortly there after. We just chilled and explored. SC was doing a competition for Buisness Frosh and so he had a sign and was supposed to take as many pictures with people as possible. He made me hold the sign up beside some girls who were giving out free hugs. I did it and then an older woman said she wanted a free hug, so I gave her one. lol... LOL...

Anyways, It was good. After about an hour we met up with JXW and her friend J(?). More random hanging around. Nearly lost NYC at one point, but ran into my brother and CV/GM/RP/JG/JA breifly while looking for him. lol.

We went to Gatineau for the fireworks. While we walked I taught NYC some Mandarin. lol. He's funny. While waiting at the museum of civilization we played 'the dot game' where you draw a line between dots and when you complete a square you get a point. I was gonna win, but NYC who was after me realized he wasn't going to win and so was kinda letting J(?) beat me. lol. The fireworks started before we finished, so no one really won. lol.

First time in Gatineau with contact lenses. So, basically the best fireworks ever. SC started playing Katy Perry when they were going on. lol.

Bussing back was terrible. lol. We got on the 8 Billings Bridge in Gatineau at 10:30. We got to Billings at 12:30... What the? We were litterally standing still at Slater/Bank for half an hour. >.< Oh well. lol.

NYC lives like a block from my parents' house, so we bussed back together. He seems to read a lot. He told me all about this series of talking cat warrior books. ..? lol. He's funny. I'm glad I got to meet him in frosh week last year. xP.

This day was really good getting to spend some time with my other friends. Haha

Annyways, Ttyl.
