How about some details on the great offering for Northeast Christian College.

I have heard that it topped $100k.

There's nothing like a little garbled Shakespeare.

I suppose that compared to a garbled sermon, garbled Shakespeare is small potatoes.

Here's a quote from Shakespeare that you won't read in the Pentecostal Messenger.

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

I thought of the recent ALVIN posts when I read the last lines.:slaphappy

I think it was your son's good friend (JD) that put an acronym to my last name after several discussions.. (Proud, Intelligent & Opinionated) Needless to say, we had lively discussions.

I saw Wally a while back,as far as I know he's doing just fine.

Good morning Canada,sunshiny bright day here,and to all my American friends a happy July 4th!

Good morning, Mother D...how are you, girl?!:kittyhug

Thank you for the well wishes on this day. It has stopped raining...whoohoo!!:fireworks

Felicity's Apple Pies are out of the oven...mmmmgood!! Smells wonderful in this house...:happydance

Happy 4th of July to all of our American friends. Here's Celine, just for you, Barb.

Yes God bless America !

Just for you. Vive le Canada!

"The Prayer" by Celine Dion

I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe

La luce che tu hai
I pray we'll find your light
nel cuore resterà
and hold it in our hearts.
a ricordarci che
When stars go out each night,
eterna stella sei


The light you have
I pray we'll find your light
will be in the heart
and hold it in our hearts.
to remember us that
When stars go out each night,
you are eternal star
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
quanta fede c'è
when shadows fill our day


How much faith there's
Let this be our prayer
in my prayer
when shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza
un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternità


We dream a world without violence
a world of justice and faith.
Everyone gives the hand to his neighbours
Symbol of peace, of fraternity
La forza che ci dà
We ask that life be kind
è il desiderio che
and watch us from above
ognuno trovi amor
We hope each soul will find
intorno e dentro sé
another soul to love


The force his gives us
We ask that life be kind
is wish that
and watch us from above
everyone finds love
We hope each soul will find
around and inside
another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer, just like every child

Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

È la fede che
hai acceso in noi,
sento che ci salverà


It's the faith
you light in us
I feel it will save us

Thank you, Elder...this warms my heart.

I heard Celine sing this for the first time right after 9/11...they had a memorial/telethon for the families of the victims and she sang this as I had never heard it sung before.

Everytime it came on the radio, I had to stop whatever I was doing because it moved me so. My young nieces finally just gave up and bought the CD for me.

The girl is tremendous...

It was ok ,I've heard better. Merci quand-meme!

This was good !

Here's a post imported from the "If everyone was like you. . ." thread.

I thought that it deserved to be immortalized here. It's got to be one of the top posts ever!

I can't begin to imagine how long it must have taken the Monkeyman to do this. (I assume that he forgot to take his Ritalin to Manhatten with him :slaphappy)

Maple Leaf, Thanks for posting the video of "The Prayer".

That is one of my all-time favorite songs! :)

These days I just butcher the English language on forums, in between coon hunting and preaching the occasional sermon, but back in the days when I used to teach English to 11th and 12th graders, I always had my students memorize Macbeth's soliloquy.

One of the finest the Bard ever wrote.

Here's a real taste of Canadian culture.


[YT="Stompin Tom Connors - The Hockey Song"]uZWxErEbQkY[/YT]

You know you're APOSTOLIC PENTECOSTAL when.

1. The amount of money you spend on hair spray exceeds your gas
bill.
2. Your Pastor/or Service Leader announces midweek services EVERY
Sunday night

3. You (or the ladies you know) can swim in a denim skirt and still
have fun.

4. It takes longer to TAKE prayer requests than it does to pray for
them.
5. Your brother or sister in the Lord hugs you right in the middle of
Wal-Mart.
6. The musicians at your church can tear it up, but none of them can
read sheet music

7 You have 50 pairs of church shoes.
8. You're adept at stopping runs in stockings with just about
anything.
9. You're considered an old maid if you're not married by age 18
10. You consider Bible college "higher education."
11. Running the aisles and jumping up and down is your exercise.
12. A birthday party is a night on the town.
13. You could be an Olympic volleyball player with all the practice
from church functions

14. Your white choir moves like Kirk Franklin's group.
15. The pastor says, "With this thought, I close," more than three
times each service

16. You have adequate respect for the power of flying hairpins.
17. Your feet have been stomped on at least 3 times during a service.
18. A run in your last pair of stockings is a national disaster.
19. You judge a church service by swollen eyes, rumpled clothes, and
disheveled hair.
20. Your kids know how to eat any crunchy thing quietly.
21. When shopping for shirts, you always run it through the "Praise
The Lord test.

22. Sunday and Wednesday mean no cooking or dishes.
23. You can maneuver into a vehicle without messing up your hairdo.
24. Celebrating your 21st birthday doesn't mean much.
25. The employees at Pizza Hut know you by name.
26. You can always find hairpins on the floor after a good service.
27. You can pronounce, "Habakk! uk."
28. Mondays and Thursdays are the hardest days to wake up in the
morning.
29. Your day of rest includes 2 church services, choir practice, and
a restaurant.
30. Growing up you baptize your cousins and siblings in "JESUS NAME"
several times in the swimming pool.
times in the swimming pool.

It was great to hear Stompin Tom again!

In the spirit of trying to help increase posts on this thread I have a question:

During visits to family around Boston we would get these hot dogs called "Maple Leaf." They were linked together. They were GOOD!

Can they still be found up there and if so where?

I'll be up that way in a couple weeks, Lord willing, and would be glad to get ahold of some.

Thanks,
Nina

Thank you for patronizing our humble thread.

Maple Leaf doesn't make linked hotdogs.

Linked sausages maybe?

:D

Here is a response from Maple Leaf Foods to a writer asking the same question as Nina.

Here's a whole discussion on this very topic:

Maple Leaf,

Thank You!

Nina

Well who makes the best Canadian bacon ?

5 more Canadians baptized in Jesus name this morning in my part of the world,to God be the glory!First time visitors in both services.

That's great! My sister is here visiting this evening and she was telling me about this. :)

That's great news, Mother D...

The last figure I saw presented was $160,000. Not quite as much as hoped for (I was told) but still good!

Was this pledges, or CIF :winkgrin










(Cash In Fist)

Pledges I believe.

Mostly pledges. Some cheques! :)

I would trust the Canadians would be more diligent at collecting than the General Conference Marathon Offerings.

No posts on the Canada blog in five days...has the country gone on strike?!:Nhl_check

The weather has been so nice I can imagine many people are outside enjoying the summer, rather than wasting time on the internet.

Oops...guess I got told, eh?!:winkgrin

Barb, I didn't mean to put anyone in their place. I didn't choose my words well. I was using the word "waste" in the context of missing out on the wonderful weather by being stuck inside on the internet. I didn't mean to say one is wasting their time simply because they are on the internet.

I enjoyed reconnecting with friends and former colleagues in the ministry while on vacation. However, I'm not so sure we should continue this association. As you can see by her av, Felicity's appearance has taken on a drastic transformation after only a few days of UPC fellowship, and it's not good!:winkgrin It's as if she went into shock after 10 years of absence from the UPC. :)
