God came near ...


Oh holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.



Merry Xmas !
Don't forget what this is all about ...

Finally DONE !


Well I never thought this day would come ... Navle is done, at last !!! (that was my board exam, just in case you were wondering if I'd been squashed off the face of the earth these last few months ... ) It actually went well enough. Far too much studying involved, though ! I'm expecting the results around the end of January, which is also about the same time for the internship results ... times of change are coming up ! Last night we had our post-Navle senior party, it was great ... and a snick nostalgic, of course . (although getting up at 6 this morning was pretty rough - on call on a Sunday morning , ew - ) . It hard to believe 5 years have zoomed by ... augh ! Not being here with these people next year is definately going to be weird -
So .... 2 more weeks and first vacations since the end of August, that'll feel nice :-) I should be spending a few days in Toronto with family, and then 2 weeks in Paris with my parents. Haven't seen them since May ... MISS YOU GUYS !!!
I hope everyone is doing well :-) Thanks for news and keeping in touch, I know I've been a pretty terrible terrible terrible nerdy and busy freak ... (and I'm sorry to say that things will probably not be getting any better ... oops ... )
Enjoy this festive season ... One man come in the name of love -
