Sugar Bowl date with some girlfrans. Endless reading. 
Saying goodbye to the Dynasty (car wreck style). 
Guitar learning. Story telling. Movie watching at the Plex. 

Overall, a successful weekend ending in an Africa meeting. 
... and some intense reading.

I see heaven, invading this place, I see angels, Praising Your Holy Name
And I sing praises, I sing praises, I give You honor, Worthy Jesus

I see Glory, Falling in this place
I see hope restored, healing of all disease
And I sing praises, I sing praises, I give You honor, Worthy Jesus

We give You Praise, and all of the Honor

You are our God, the one we live for

We give You Praise, and all of the Glory God

When Andrew told me he had found a New Orleans 
joint right here in Edmonton I was very skeptical. 
What do Canadians know about my beloved cuisine anyway? 
Well they actually know quite a bit... 
I was super impressed by Da De O's down on Whyte. 
The food was so delicious and the atmosphere
was just swell. I felt like I was back in the Big Easy. 
What a great outing! 

banqueting.

Last night our church hosted their annual banquet. 
We had a great time dressing up. 
And we proceeded to get bubble tea after of course... 

too much cold.

Endless snow and ice...
even the occasional ice cream splurge. 
It has been SO cold that past week or so. 
On average the temperature has been about -30c.
Ice even had the audacity to form on the inside of my window in 
HUGE chunks. 
We spent all last night putting sealant on our windows
because our apartment has been an ice box.
All this cold makes me day dream of summer...
Screen doors slamming, cicadas chirping...
 

ice surprise.

On Saturday Andrew and I went to an ice 
sculpture festival called "Ice on Whyte." 
(Whyte is a famous street in Edmonton)

We rode the 1912 trolley, drank hot chocolate, and 
slid down ice slides! It was also the first big snow of the year,
which is very abnormal.
We ended the night at Remedy with some amazing chai.

There has been a lot of uproar around Facebook about the video that I have posted prior. If anything, I am glad people are beginning to notice how radical the name of Jesus is. But perhaps we should stop debating about videos such as these saying that “Jesus loves religion, man has just polluted what this really is” and start trying to prove to the world what religion (for lack of a better word) really is.

Why is it that our society is so out-spoken? We love to debate every little thing. But debating will never change anyone’s mind, if anything it just makes people more upset. There was a shout out on a friend’s Facebook today “True Christians, don’t believe this!” (in response to the video) Well let me say:

True Christians, be living proof of Jesus. There is nothing more we are called to than to BE JESUS in this world. Die to these arguments and go show people what true religion in the eyes of Jesus actually is.

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” -James 1:27

So let’s go.
