Bruce & Niki came out to lead worship. Notice the front row crowd! This was actually during the pre-chapel time. There were never any empty seats during chapel.

What do I feel the need to collect that I really don't need to? Where can I find that many Xerox boxes? How many valuable items does she have in that house that noone gets to enjoy? How did she ever afford all that stuff? I wonder where she lives? Could I make a career out of finding homes like that and sorting through their stuff for them?

Our friends from Calgary were bringing gifts from family back home, and unfortunately the bottle of Oscar de la Renta that was for me, was stolen from their suitcase sometime in transit. Aw, I was sad. I was so excited to receive this gift! Later that evening as we were getting out of our van after arriving back home, the second thing happened. Another friend from here had given me a bowl when we first met, and that bowl was exactly like a bowl I had left behind in Canada. It wasn't expensive, or of any great financial value, it was just a bit sentimental as it was a gift from a new friend and it happened to be exactly like something I'd left back home. Well, I had this bowl resting on my lap, but as I got out of...
