Halloween!



The joys of Halloween! Or as Natashia informed me may soon be called "Black and Orange Day" apparently (Natashia told me this) they are thinking of changing the name so that immigrants in our country will not be so afraid of this day. I mean come on, both Nat and I laughed together when she told me this is what her teacher had told their class earlier today. Even if you call it "black and orange day" people will still dress up spooky, it's just how it goes..well I mean not in every family. The Walsh's always had to be happy things. I mean Mom was not going to send out a bunch of Zombies trick or treating so instead I was a bride, minnie mouse, a baby, you know happy things. I am thankful that I was never the wicked witch of the west or a blood thirsty vampire! Thanks Mom!

Today while walking home from the train I passed two younger gentleman who wanted me to see their halloween display. "A puking pumpkin man surrounded in beer cases and cans. I mean I chuckled. It was really well done, I am sure if you have Facebook it will be all over it, thats how creepy our world has gotten..it might even be a link on some of your pages out there, I'm not against that website at all...no sarcasm.

Tonight I await the arrival of Meghan, BreAnn, Marian and Lennae for super fun times on Halloween weekend. I don't know what I should dress up as? I thought I could donn myself in "Peak" gear and be a poster board for my dad's company or just put on my punjabi dress again and be an indian princess minus the tiara (that is what I was at school- a bit chilly)! Who knows..one sad thing is that not one single child has rang/knocked at our door! I wanna hand out some of that candy! Dang!

Happy "Black and Orange" Day<--that sounds lame!

Happy Halloween? Is halloween happy? I don't think so!

Rise India!!!


This past weekend I had the oppurtunity to go to Camrose and see old friends! It was like any CLBI weekend, exhausting and quick. On Sunday afternoon I was able to spend some good time with my friend Catherine catching up on life. She gave me the above cd which I have been listening to on repeat all day today. It is worship songs written for India and it is really having an impact on me.

About a week or less ago I wondered onto my friend Neils blog (at the side check it out!) to find a plee to pray for India. Mass hurt is going on along with mass killing. I have been praying but I also feel that God is using me in a crazy unexpected way. This weekend while I was visiting with 4 others about our faith life or lack there of I didn't really know how I had gotten so spiritually weak it seemed. When did I fall off the track? Or did I? Needless to say I believe that God has my hand in His. This cd has impacted me because not only can I pray for India but I can worship my God singing songs that are speaking right to India.

God knows what He is doing even if we cannot see it..

I encourage you to read Neils blog and get on your knees..become humble before our Lord.
