Bissell Centre is a community ministry in Edmonton, Alberta. Staff recall how their lives were touched by someone who needed clothes years ago and why it still matters today.

This story warmed the cockles of my heart - it renews my faith in the United Church of Canada's ability to bring people together.

A reunion to remember

With local help, Somali refugee joins family in Canada 18 years after separation

Well tomorrow at about 7:00 (or possibly 7:30) I will be going on a road trip with my friend Justin to Grande Prairie!  Then on the 31st I'll be flying to Edmonton, and flying back home on the 8th.  It will be quite the adventure. 

I hope to see all my friends from camp and all my hometown friends away at school too!  And do some shopping!! 

I don't really know why I wrote this as it is rather pointless...but I guess i'm just updating everyone about my life...hahah

A Myspace friend of mine, Edmonton's own Ann Vriend, needs your help.  It's mine she asked for today, but I know when I'm in over my head, so I am passing her request.  Her new song, "A dollar and a suitcase" (profile.myspace.com/index.cfm )  is in need of being classified in the most suitable music genre for it.  It's very moving, and it shows off her lovely voice.  But what is it, exactly?  She would be deeply grateful if someone who knows more

I can't wait!  tomorrow at 7:00 am I'm leaving for edmonton for 7 days of sheer awesome!

I just cannot describe how excited I am!!  I get to visit my Girlfriend, my friends from camp, and even a couple friends who moved away in like, grade 8 :D

That is all.  lol.

Well, the time draws near, little ol' me will be graduating and am looking into university.  Now, unfortunately because the internet hates me I find what I want on say...the U of A site, then I can't find it again.  So I have no real clue as to what courses U of A, or other albertan universities have to offer...

At one point I saw Islamic Studies, which really piqued my interest.  I want to take Philosophy, Theology (religion), Islamic Studies (if I can find it again...lol), and perhaps Political Sciences.
