Scruffy With a Ball of Red Yarn

You meet the most unique people at art school.

Tonight I'm going to young adults group... kind of like youth group, but less drama. Can't wait to meet new people :)
---
Last night I went to see Downhere play at the MET. It was pretty great. I chatted it up with Glen Lavender after the show and it was cool because he remembered my family from Kitchener. He is a great bass player and his band has great stage presence. So that was a good night :)
---
I've had the acrylic craving for awhile now and I can't wait to whip out my paintbrushes when I get home tonight! Set up the ol easel and see what happens. I have so many ideas and luckily I have lots of canvas.
---
My teacher actually does sound a little like Steve Carell. It's distracting.
---
A new and improved (and actually including content) www.snapbird.ca is coming your way soon! Keep your eyes peeled for my online portfolio :) Also, SnapBird Photography will be up and running by the end of the month.
---
Nikon D3 is my new dream. 
---
I can't wait... I have to start painting now!
---
I'll be back later...

I'm back :D And I had a really great night! I met some really cool people at the young adults gathering (it was a mighty gathering). There were nine of us all together and they were all really awesome. A couple go to my school, so that was neat. We ate steak and peaches & ice cream, played Trivial Pursuit and Outburst, and jumped on the trampoline! It was fantastic! I can't wait to hang out with them again soon :) And the best part, some of them are coming to Woodroffe... wooohooo! Friends at church! :D
---
Anyway, I have to go read my book now... I was hoping to paint, but I realized I have 30 pages of 'Interplay: The Process of Interpersonal Communication' - boring! What does that have to do with being a photographer? Haha actually, it has a lot to do with it, but still... that really puts me to sleep.

Church carnival tomorrow! Should be a good time! Haha...

God's Amazing Power

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
