I'm in Ottawa!
Miracles do happen. Not only am I in Ottawa again, but I woke up at what is normally 4:15am my time and I feel great! I do believe this is a sign of the immanent return of Christ. Either that or prayer works. Maybe both.
I'm sitting here in the dining room, taking a moment of silence before the day starts. We're packed full with meetings today. I think we have something like 8 or so. Some cool ones will be the very first with a guy named David Sweet. He used to be the president of Promise Keepers Canada, then ran for office. And now he's got it. Apparently they asked to meet with us before we could ask to meet with him. That's cool!
So eight Memebers of Parliament today and then tomorrow... oh boy... I think we double that. It's a wild ride tomorrow. But we'll talk about that when we get there.
I was really hoping to be able to meet with Rahim Jaffer and his assistance Josh. We called them a few times but due to the offices being SO BUSY right now, never heard back. Well... guess who was on the flight to Ottawa. Rahim! So I was able to say hi and hopefully we'll be able to make the schedules line up. I really like them a lot and love to get to connect with them any time.
The team we have this year is really remarkable. All different age groups from all different backgrounds and many different demoninations. They're really hungry and ready to be used too, which is awesome. We did a few pretend meetings yesterday with the group (I got to be an MP hahahaha) and I was so impressed with them. And it's good that they got a crack at it too, because when it's your first time (or 30th time) there is still a level of nervousness that goes along with everything.
Today is a good day full of Christian MPs and people who are sympathetic to having a moral society in Canada. So it will be nice to encourage the MPs and let them know they are not standing alone on what can feel the island of Parliament. We will stand with them as they stand for life and hope for a generation and nation. Tomorrow when we meet with some not so sympathic voices we plan to say the same thing.
Pray for us if you get the nudging. Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures tomorrow.

Hey Dude, been praying for you and the team a lot. I can feel the energy from here. Keep having fun because none of those other groups that make MP's lives miserable seem to be having any and it's refreshing when somebody looks like they actually enjoy their lives. Don't take anything seriously except to LOVE people.
We love you and think you're an awesome son,
Pa and Ma (who is out shopping for a sympathy present for Steve and Kathy right now because Abe went to meet with Dr Death at 8.30 am today)
