Creation's proclamation 1

One year in school I did a presentation on the solar system. I studied the planets, the stars, asteroids, the sun... Then I picked one planet and I studied more about it. The planet I chose to focus on was Jupiter. As I studied, I discovered Jupiter has moons that obit it. At that time, there were 16 moons around Jupiter - now, however, they've discover 53!!!  

My planet line up; with Mom as the sun!!!!
 That time I spent studying the night sky so long ago stirred in me a love for astronomy. The more we discover about the vastness of space the more we realize how much we don't actually know. Scientists have just recently discovered that some of the rings around Saturn are actually braided!! The more we discover, the more awesome it all seems; but we've only just scratched the tip of the iceberg so to speak. Thereès a whole lot more out there just waiting to point us to it's Creator 

 God must've had a purpose in mind when He created all of this, especially if we weren't going to be able to see a lot of it with our naked eye. So, what is the purpose of Creation?  What's the purpose of the sun, moon, stars, planets, asteroids and constellations? In Psalm 19 it says: "The heavens declare the glory of God..." I truly believe that this is the number one reason for creation. To point to the One who made it all.

    It's mind blowing to look up at a clear night sky and think of how amazing this universe is! It does give one a glimpse of how awesome our God is, as creator of this stupendous and seemingly unending world!

Good bye, my friend

Left to right: Andy, Monica, Roger Roger, I will never forget the first ski night. You and Andy were such a great team. You were the first men who shared skiing with me. Thank you, my friend for giving me the experience of freedom first.  Flying down that hill at top speed (well maybe a little slower!!) with you and Andy, it felt like I didn't have a disability. You saw me for who I was. You never focused on the negative. You were always positive. Some of my favourite memories are when the three of us were on the chair lift together and you would tease Andy and I about this or that...and yes I know we teased back! You took it so well!!! Did you ever get an air-conditioned bathing suit to go with your heated coat?!! Roger you didn't just stay a skiing friend.  You came to my show with Propeller Dance the year we were at the Shenkman Arts Center in Orleans. It meant so much to me that you thought I was worth the ticket price and the long drive to Orleans. I remember the

A blurry photo

Have you ever really looked at a blurry photo? If you're anything like me, looking at a blurry photo makes you want to quickly look away. Or better yet get rid of it!! I was going through my store of photos on my phone the other day. and came across one of my cat, similar to the one above, that was out of focus (not quite as much as the one above though!) You could tell what it was, but some of the details were missing. It all of a sudden hit me that this is how we see God. When we first accept Him, our vision of Him is blurry. We can tell Who He is, but the details are missing. We accept the truth of His existence, love, power, kindness and holiness; but we see each one of these things dimly at first. Sometimes when we're looking at God and the things He is doing we see so out of focus that we just want to give up and turn away like when we are looking at a blurry photo. As Christians, we are told to seek the Lord with all our hearts and search for Him as we wo

Why "Choreographer's Cuisine?"

Why dance?  Dance is everywhere in Scripture. In Psalms 150 it tells us to "...Praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with timbrel and dancing..." For me dance has always been a very important part of life. I believe dance was engrained into my very being by my grandfather, who, I'm told danced me for hours around the living room when I was a baby trying to get me to sleep. (I'm told I was a hard baby to get to sleep!) As I have gotten older dance has inspired me and has become a way of expression when I can't find the words. I have also tried other art forms, but dance and poetry are my two favourites. As I am learning the art of choreography this year from my bosses, I am recognizing that my life has been choreographed by the Great Choreographer, Jesus Christ. Every person who has come into my life, every situation I have found myself in, even my trauma, was choreographed into my life. And He's not done choreographing yet!! I've been told  by a
