Dear Friends, 

How unfortunate that the power outage of August 14, 2003 will forever be known as “Black Thursday”.  It’s in times such as these that God’s light shines the brightest, don’t you think!?  It was wonderful to see and experience the worm fellowship of friends, neighbors and even total strangers on the day the lights went out in North Bay and I’m so grateful that my source of energy comes from God and not hydro!  My power station will never experience a “Blackout” and that’s great news! 

My love and prayers I send to you!

Whatever it takes –

 

Breath of fire that quickens the soul

Release your power within me

Your strength I will need as I travel

On my way home to your Glory

 

Help me believe in what I can’t see

To know that your presence is real

Awaken my heart unto you, Lord

Till your love is all I can feel

 

I’ll walk every desert and valley

I will climb each mountain I meet

Whatever it takes to be near you

There’s nothing to high or to deep  

I will go wherever you send me

Just to catch a glimpse of your face

I’ll honor your name, I will praise you

And trust in your mercy and grace

 

I’ll follow the course without fearing

According to your mighty plan

As long as you captain my ship, Lord

I’m safe in the palm of your hand.
