Philip and I just returned from Halifax, where he won the National Skills Competition in carpentry. He built a playhouse in six hours, did a written theory exam, and a transit test. Pictures to come later.

Here is what I'm thinking: Most people are good. They won't steal your car, rob you blind, or steal your credit card. The people who do are the exception to the rule...and chances are they have a mental illness, have been abused, or have a lot going against them (poverty, crappy parents, etc...) Also, being able to trust others is important, just don't be stupid about it (i.e. Don't leave your keys in your car or your door unlocked).

Right now I'm missing school. I've been researching grad schools and getting excited about doing my masters.

Also, Fil is moving to Toronto this weekend, which means a lot of tears and chocolate.

I'm a Fan of Nice People

This weekend I get to meet Bruce Bowie, and I'm very excited! To me he is an excellent example of a man who is a Christ Follower and in the public eye. He demonstrates he is a Christ Follower with his actions and compassion, but never shoves it down your throat or condemns those who aren't.

Go here to learn more about him. Hopefully that link actually works!

Pardon?

I have an ear infection, which means I have a lot of pain and very little hearing. Philip finally convinced me to go to the doctor yesterday (which I hate), and he gave me two lovely prescriptions for anti-biotics.

Our friends are here this weekend with their cutie-petuti baby daughter. Thankfully she is not crawling yet, because our apartment is definitely not baby-proof.

Thought of the day: If you condemn homosexuality, how can you expect a person who is gay to come to your church?

Also, because of the folk festival, our town's population has doubled this weekend. I had to wait at a traffic light for more than one minute. Crazy.
