This evening, on TV, I watched Russell Williams in the interrogation room as he talked about what he had done. I felt sickness and hopelessness and something much more terrible than disgust; and I felt an indescribable sadness.
Hi all-I'm new here and looking to connect with united church or like-minded people in discussions about lots of stuff.
but right now I'm going to make it all about me!
my dear two roomates, God bless them, are hard-nosed, ultra-conservative, fire and brimstone christians who belong to the (I AM NOT EXAGGERATING: slightly fascist) organization known as my university's chapter of Campus for Christ.
they both think the UCC is a tiny, crazy, liberal organization that practically does not qualify as Christian.
I was home in bed, sick, and I needed something to watch. Having cancelled my cable TV a few years ago, I decided to give Itune movies a try and I found One Week.. It appealed to me as it was the story of one week in Ben Tyler (Joshua Jackson) life. A Toronto man in his mid twenties engaged to be married, just starting out in his career as a teacher and writer. The film starts with him being diagnosed with an aggressive cancer that is in stage 4. With treatment the Doctor gives him a 10% chance of beating it.

My mother's health is rapidly deteriorating again. On Dec 29/07 she had emergency brain surgery for an agressive kind of brain cancer. She recovered fantastically but was given 7-17 months to live. It was 17 months in May. I am grateful for the time that we were given with her but now her mental state is about what it was when she had her surgery. I really don't think that she has much time left.
