Caedmon's Call - Table for two

Danny and I spent another late night over pancakes,
Talkin' 'bout soccer
And how every man's just the same
We made speculation
On the who's and the when's of our futures
And how everyone's lonely
But still we just couldn't complain

And how we just hate being alone
Could I have missed my only chance
And now I'm just wasting my time
By looking around
But you know I know better
I'm not gonna worry 'bout nothing
Cause if the birds and the flowers survive
Then I'll make it okay
I'm given a chance and a rock
see which one breaks a window
See which one keeps me up all night and into the day

Because I'm so scared of being alone
That I forget what house I live in
But it's not my job to wait by the phone
For her to call

Well this day's been crazy
But everything's happened on schedule
from the rain and the cold
To the drink that I spilled on my shirt
'Cause You knew how You'd save me
before I fell dead in the garden
And You knew this day
long before You made me out of dirt

And You know the plans that You have for me
And You can't plan the end and not plan the means
And so I suppose I just need some peace
Just to get me to sleep.

Back on the job.

Thursday, Jan 4th: First day back on campus. What a wonderful feeling to be back on the field serving the Lord to a spiritually blind generation. I was so happy to be sharing my faith with students again. I had a lot of fun sharing my faith with my family and friends and a few strangers during taxi rides and flights but nothing beats sharing the gospel on the university campus.

Today: Craig: our new intern and the former student president for the UofM joined me and a few other Management (business) students to give away Real Life Kits [a new testament, evangelistic tract, an extreme sports DVD w/ music and testimonies, and Josh Mc Dowell’s “Quest for Answers: rebuttal for the Davinci Code”]

It was well received by the students and I am excited to see a few Christians come out of the woodwork. I hope to work with them this semester: building them up in their faith and I’m praying they will catch the vision to win, build and send other labourers onto the various areas of campus, Winnipeg, Canada and the world.

I also got to share my faith with some Masters students in Biophysical Engineers. They were from India. Wow who ever thought I could potentially have an impact on India from Winnipeg. Praise the Lord for the way He orchestrates circumstances! It was a pleasure to sit with them and explain the Gospel. I trust that the seed sown would one day accepted; at least they know the truth and now have the opportunity to respond to His knocking.

Pray with me that the world would be won soon, and His coming would be quick!

Winter Conference 2006-07 Calgary

It was my first conference as a staff rather than as a student…although last year I took on too much responsibility as a student and ended up acting like a staff boo… My recommendation is to enjoy your last year as a student. It was definitely a mistake of mine!

Anyhow: This winter conference was quite enjoyable. I loved speaking during my seminar on How to love by faith. What a great and tough topic for me. It’s probably been the lesson I’ve had to learn time and time again through out my Christian walk.

I enjoy teaching and being apart of that spiritual building process, so I hope in God’s timing that I will be considered worthy to speak as a main speaker @ winter conference. I enjoy all the prep work, the learning that goes on when you have to test what you believe as you prepare for a talk. I love to be use by God to enlighten others and draw them to a place where they worship God even more. Although, I should be careful for what I wish and pray for…because every time I receive the opportunity to talk it is usually because of a tough lesson that God has taught me and I’m sharing how God prevailed. I’m honest- I’m a stubborn person and like many of you I don’t like to go through too much pain to learn a valuable lesson. “The pathway to victory often goes through a valley of sorrow or suffering. But we have this unshakeable hope: No matter the scope of the conflict or the degree of suffering, our captain is present-and He has been here before.”

I’m excited to see that 20 students came from the UofM to winter conference this year. That’s a 50% increase since last year. It was deeply encouraging. It was also awesome to hear that several students from the UofM will be attending various mission’s projects this summer. It’s hard not to be proud of these students and their tremendous steps of faith!

Here’s a picture of the gang from the UofM.
