Internship and Volunteering knowledge

I've started to read the first book for my first book report. "Is that really you, God?" by Loren Cunningham. Its good so far.

I'm still in need of a doctor. I need one to regularly look over my blood tests in order to make sure my anti-coagulation levels are in order. I've got my prescription of blood thinners which should last me for a while but I need to set up my blood tests. I went to a clinic today but the receptionist told me to come back tomorrow because it was too busy. I'm supposed to call at lunch to mark a place for me in the line.

It was a cold, rainy, long detour on the way home.

On the bright side, I got to see Snowdon station. We are always taking the metro in that direction, but we never seem to get there.

I should explain. The metro near my station comes before Snowdon on the blue line going in that direction.

Today we also discussed the fact that, as well as internships, this UCDTS requires us to involve a lot of volunteering in our week. I'm excited about the concept, but I don't know where I want to volunteer and I need more information about the places we should be volunteering for. I've looked at a few theatre companies in Montreal which ask for volunteers. One of them is theatre for small children and the other is Out Theatre. Which, if you can't tell is lgbt (lesbian gay bi trans).

People of this persuasion have been on my heart the past few years. I've always felt that a lot of Christians have developed a perspective of hate and fear towards homosexuals instead of the love that God calls to have for all beings. We have been learning in class about how all humans are created in the image of God. Check your Bible. Its there somewhere in the very beginning. I have friends that are gay, and whether we think its wrong or not, God calls us to love our neighbour, even if that dude is a dating another dude.

That tangent aside, I'd like to work with lgbt s without having to encourage them towards that lifestyle. I'm not really comfortable with that.

Anyway, we'll see what the requirements are and what I feel after a time of prayer.

Tomorrow is another morning of class with Pierre Lebel and an afternoon continuing with the orientation. I'll also be heading back to the clinic to see if they can fit me in.

Please keep me and my class mates in prayer.

A Post script:

I'll be getting internet in about two weeks so you will be getting blog posts a little more regularly.

With love,
