My New Job

I would just like to officially share that I'm starting my new job this week - doing accounting/bookkeeping back in the Missions world. Praise the Lord. I'm feeling nervous, which is normal but there's a little excitement brewing as well. I know the Lord orchestrated this all so I can start this week with confidence knowing this is where God wants me to be. Thank you Lord for working this all out.

The Blacklist!

There aren't that many good TV shows on these days, especially when it comes to new shows, which continue to push the boundaries of what is considered entertainment and acceptable content. BLECK.

But one show that started this fall, is The Blacklist. And I'm thoroughly enjoying it!

What an interesting concept and it has me hooked. Why did he choose Lizzie as the only agent he will talk to? Whats the connection from the past and how does he know so much about her? What about the husband and the stuff she found in the floorboards? Is her husband somehow related to Remmington? How is that all going to come out? Oh the questions! Can't wait for another episode!

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????
