The Changing of the Guards.. uh.. Grandmothers
Lucky little girl.. she has grandmas times 2 for a day and a half to play with her and look after her. My mom is heading home today and Naomi’s mom is here to help Naomi and I look after Ellie so Naomi can get the doctor prescribed rest she needs.
Families are such a blessing.
With only 25 days to go before registration weekend our application numbers are holding strong. We still have over 50 apps for this year at the Bible Institute, of which 31 are confirmed (meaning that they sent in a $150 deposit).
To put this in perspective, the most students we have had is 39, and this past year we had only 25. So now we have more students who have confirmed for the coming year than we had this past year! Plus, there are around 20 more who are at some stage in the application process.
We are praying for over 40 students this coming year. It is going to be exciting!
Heard about the photo fraud in Lebanon?? It is where a few “news journalists” have taken liberties with the photos that they present as truthful images of the war to make things look worse or more dramatic. See a slideshow of some of the photos here.
For all those people like me who have called Sackville home:
SACKVILLE, N.B. — At least five businesses and about 30 apartments have been destroyed after a major fire in this southeastern New Brunswick community.
The Friday night fire destroyed the Dixon Block, a 150-year-old building that was one of the last wooden structures still standing in downtown Sackville.
Crews from several area fire departments fought the blaze but were unable to save the three-storey building.
No one was hurt, and most of the apartments are rented by Mount Allison University students who are away for the summer.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

You would think that something like this might get some kind of national coverage! I’ve been trying to find anything about this on the Internet, and so far I’ve only found stuff on the Edmonton Sun and Montreal Gazzette, both of which are pretty far away from Sackville. Someone had to take a picture of the cover of a local newspaper (above) so that I could actually see what it looked like.
UPDATE: I found a couple of blogs with photos –

Update: That storm we had a week ago spawned 8 tornadoes across Ontario!
