Has the Mafia Infiltrated the CRA?

I heard this in the news today and it just makes me shake my head....

The government gave a large tax refund cheque to a mob boss who was in jail at the time and owed the government over 1.5 million in back taxes.... What?!?! 


Quoted from The Globe and Mail website article

"The Canada Revenue Agency is acknowledging that it “incorrectly” sent a $381,737 tax refund to mob boss Nicolo Rizzuto, and vowing to crack down on any wrongdoing inside the tax-collection agency."

“This suggests either incompetence or corruption,” NDP MP Murray Rankin said in an interview."

It is not often I agree with the NDP, but I do agree with that statement!

Won't Be Shaken

A TV Station for Dogs? Huh?

Okay seriously. Apparently there is now a TV station for dogs. No, not about dogs. FOR dogs. This is what the website says:

DOGTV’s 24/7 programing helps stimulate, entertain, relax and habituate

dogs with shows that expose them to various movements, sounds, objects,

experiences and behavior patterns, all from a dog’s point of view.

Who pays for this? Who uses this? Who would purchase this channel? Oh my goodness. I really don't know what else to say.

Oh trust me, I LOVE dogs. Anyone who knows me, knows how much I adore animals, especially doggies and how much I love Chewie. But come on, isn't this a little over the top????

My Hurricane Called Life

Waiting with Faith

I'm really questioning some things in life these days. But in a healthy way.

Where do You want me Lord? What do You want me to do in this situation? What about in this situation?  What is the right decision to make here? Is that Your nudging or my own wants?

I have always found that the best possible place to be, is in the center of
God's will, even if it seems scary.There is no better place to be. Ever. 

I think the hardest part about that, is that sometimes it means we have to WAIT

for the Lord to show us what to do. Waiting is the hardest.

But I need to try to

wait with FAITH, not with worry.
