Wednesday 6:02 AM: BC Mass Shooting

 I learned about the Tumbler Ridge Mass Shooting from WeChat, a Chinese social media app, from an American contact. Sad.  And I’m sure that the reaction from the Canadian media will be maudlin and stupid. Pray for the victims and their families. 

Tuesday RCIA Class

 I went to Staug in the evening.  I learned I will be conditionally baptized next month.  Also I was made aware of the increasing demand for food banks in Brandon.

Cute

 This gentleman pulling his child on the sleigh was a wonderful sight.

Tuesday 9:32 AM: 7 hours of classes

 

Yes. 7 hours.

Two in Xinjiang.

Two in Maple Ridge.

One in Brazil.

One in Chile.

One in Toronto.

Can’t complain.  $$$!

It’s colder in Toronto than in Brandon

 With temperatures hovering around zero in Brandon, I was surprised to learn that it was below minus 15 in Toronto.

The weather this Winter, said a local, has never been this warm.

Driving to and from Minnedosa photos

 It was misty on the way out.

Sunny on the way back.

Monday 10:09 AM: Busy

 I’m busy but I wouldn’t be so busy if I loaded myself up with daily requirements like prayer, blogging and vlogging.  When Lent happens, I will dispense with the latter two requirements. They’re vanity projects anyway.

Here is a selfie of me.

Can you guess why I took the selfie?  One person did comment on their winning the Super Bowl yesterday.  He then reflected on that other Super Bowl that they should have won.

Here are some tecent video uploads by me:

More Minnedosa Photos

 I took a break from fundraising to take these photos of the Main Street of Minnedosa.

I then took this selfie at the co-op,

Sunday 19:00 Mass

 I was able to get back to Brandon with time to spare before the 1900 Mass which took place as the Super Bowl started.  I had my priorities straight. 

Minnedosa

 

I made it.
