Another sunny Saturday and I was planning on getting a lot of work done at the office. No phone calls, no e-mails. Just me and my computer cranking out nastygrams.
When I got there, around 11:30 AM, I found the garbage can lid scattered across the floor in pieces. Hmm, odd. Our cleaning lady would never do that. I walked into my office and sensed something was wrong. It took me a moment to realize what was going on.

So I did try the chocolate again – with the same result. It’s still making me sick! 
All of the chocolate, most of the one-pound bar of chocolate and about half the tub of TJ’s mini peanut butter cups, is still in the bottom drawer of my desk. Not sure why I’m keeping it around, but can’t quite get myself to throw it out yet.
Africa Calling

Tonight I went to a presentation about the work that Flying Mission is doing in Africa, particularly their move to Zambia. More specifically, it was a report from a local man who had gone to visit Bryan and Diane.
He had so many wonderful pictures and stories. My heart is already there! When I told the folks at the presentation that I had applied with FM and was looking forward to leaving next year, Kent told me that Bryan had mentioned me several times in connection with projects he is already lining up for me to work on when I get there. What an encouragement!
Please keep praying with me that God clearly opens the doors for me as I need to walk through them.
Be Careful What You Pray For

Any one who’s ever seen me knows I have a food addiction. Oh, I could try to blame it solely on the Candidadis, but I’m sure there’s more to it than that. I’ve become so tired of the cravings for foods that harm my body and make me sicker, and yet, I’ve continued to eat them: any wheat product, chocolate, caffeine, dairy, etc. (If it’s fun, or easy to prepare/procure, then it’s on my do not eat list.)
RSVP Not Required

It seems that Fargo is in the midst of it’s fourth annual film festival, showing such gems as The World’s Most Dangerous Polka Band and If There Were No More Lutherans… Would There Still Be Green Jell-o?
Most of the films are shorter than your average feature film, some as short as two minutes, and are primarily documentaries. It’s being billed as an international independent film festival. Does Saskatchewan *truly* count as international?
On opening night, the festival ran a 10th anniversary showing of Fargo. Of course, rather than the traditional method of showing the film, festival producers found a distinctly more northern method: outside, on the side of a 16-story building, in the falling snow. And while an RSVP to attend is not required, I’ll bet a “Ya sure, you betcha” would be appreciated, doncha know?
