ALIVE (Natalie Grant)

On Friday, Jesus Christ bore the sin of the world and died on a cross to save us... His followers were left with no leader and no hope. But 3 days later, the stone was rolled away and his tomb found empty. Death has lost and LOVE is victorious! He is Risen!

Take time this weekend to reflect on how relevent this sacrifice is today. He is Risen indeed!

Praying for Rock the River!

Last night I was at the National House of Prayer for a prayer strategy meeting for Rock the River (Sept 29 and 30) in Ottawa.  The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association of Canada has said, RtR is the largest Evangelical outreach event in Canada this year and it’s happening in our backyard!  Wow!  As we know, this is also a call to pray, pray and pray!

At church yesterday, the lay leader who was delivering the message, Shannon, showed a clip from an interview with the couple who's story inspired The Vow.

Ash Wednesday

The season of Lent starts today.  I didn’t grow up in a Christian home {praise God that my entire immediate family is now Christian!} so the practice of Lent was never discussed.  I’ve been following Christ for 4 ½ years & I am now just starting to understand the importance & excitement of Lent.  It gives our hearts and minds 40 days to prepare for Easter and when Easter comes we are ready to celebrate!

On Being Content

What is the secret to happiness? Is being content a trait you are born with or a skill you can develop over the years? I like to believe it is a mindset we chose to believe every day. For me contentment doesn't always come naturally, I'd say I'm there 60% of the time and the other 40% I'm looking for the next best thing.

Fighting For Freedom

Yesterday Bill, Denise, Caroline & I spent the evening in the beautiful old Ottawa railway station, high vaulted ceilings, beautiful architecture and a feeling of tranquility meet you when you enter the building from Rideau Street and out of the bustle of Ottawa's Winterlude.  Yet, what we witnessed and heard yesterday evening did not paint a tranquil picture of our world. We gathered with 100 other religious leaders, Members of Parliament and media to watch a screening of the new documentary "Freedom Fighter" created by One Free World International.
