Dana borrowed a season of "Grey's Anatomy" from a friend and has been watching it pretty religiously the last couple days. I'm watching an episode as I write this, and if the real world hospitals were like this, all the doctors would be pretty boys and pretty girls, and they'd all be promiscuous with each other in the back rooms of the hospital... and there would be some girl narrating the whole hospital scene with some lame attempts at poetic free verse or something like that.
For some reason this shows a big hit. Not really my style, I'd take "House" over this show anyday.

good to be with family...
Dana and I had not worshipped with our church family in over two weeks. I agree with that "parking lot" song, recently made famous by the counting crows, which says "don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got till it's gone..." not that Faith Covenant closed its doors, but we had been closed off to it for a few weeks, and realized while we were that the little church we attend and serve is incredibly significant to the both of us.
The church is a funny looking family at times, but it is a family bound up by the Creator of the universe, holding the keys to the most important message that humanity has ever known.
I pray that Dana and I, as well as our little church in Winnipeg would become restless. I pray that we would open the doors to our hearts to our neighbours, our families, our friends... and perhaps, by the grace of God, and by the work of the Holy Spirit, this most important message would be let out in ways we may never have been able to comprehend.

it's all good
So this is my first post as a married man, and though I'm sure the writing style won't be very different, I'm sure that my thoughts and musings I write down will be.
Being married is great! And I know what most people that have been married for a while think when they hear that, "oh just wait... it'll hit ya."
I say (as my junior high friend used to say) "nuts ta that." The world needs less negative poison splattered all over things that are good. I'm not naive, I don't deny that there will or can be hard times in a marriage...but my thoughts are, maybe it's a blessing that the world has newlyweds, as it could (I'm sure) remind some folks who have been married "way too long" that marriage is great, that it's o.k. to be lovin' it...that it's not just the "ole' ball and chain."
So I say to God, thank you again for this incredible gift.
