HTI Rocks the Woods — December 2009
(Review of Into the Woods at Hamilton Theatre Incorporated. Originally published by Mayday Magazine, December 2009.) This month I took in two shows, and started with Hamilton Theatre Incorporated’s production of Into the Woods. To start with, how much do I love the Downtown Arts Centre?

On Love and Eating — November 2009
(Originally published by Mayday Magazine, November 2009) After the month of October being largely devoted to selfishness and deceit (trick or treat!), it was a breath of fresh air for me to sit back and think about relationships.

I am real now. I am healed. I do what I do with sincerity and for the sake of God. I used to love singing and love God. Now I love singing for God.
The Battle on Barton Street
As the bus moves, getting more and more crowded and more and more stuffy with the breath of the impoverished, I become aware of the battle between Hamilton and the earth itself.
Oh the Excitement of the First Post!
I am going to start blogging. The other day I was in prayer and felt very strongly that this was something that needed to happen. I was also on 100 Huntley Street, and started getting requests for a blog. Who am I to go against the leading of the big guy upstairs? And so I blog…
