Victory 100 FM

As of before Christmas 2008, Prince Albert now has a Christian Radio Station on air.  I was nominated at the Annual Meeting of Prince Albert Christian Radio Corporation, Inc. to serve as a Board Member and was ratified by the previous Board members to serve along with them.  It is definitely a hands on Board.  Hopefully, some of the meetings will be spread further apart when we get more established in the community.  I am already chairing a Promotions Committee.  I make a point of handing out as many brochures as possible.  I had the opportunity to share at the first session of the Lenten Lunch Series on Thursday.  We call the station Victory 100 FM on 100.1 transmitting with 50 watts power from a Tower and Base Station on the acreage of our Technician, Walter VE5PJP (also the home of one of our local Ham Radio Repeaters).  We are looking forward to gradually increasing local programming and supporting our local and Saskatchewan Christian Gospel recording artists.

Time to move on

In January, I resigned from the Board of Fountain of Life School of Ministry after serving on the Board in several positions for about 10 years.  I felt the Lord leading me in a new direction.

Sad Day - Good Bye Muffy


Well, it has been a long time since I made an entry in my blog.
After a 5 month courageous battle with renal failure (kidney disease), our beloved 15.5 yrs. old dog, Muffy, finally deteriorated to a such a level last night, losing the use of her hind legs, that we made the decision it was time.  I called the Vet this morning and got a recording.  I talked to the answering service and she advised they were closed today with no one on call-out.   I phoned our vet at home and she said the office was closed for a computer upgrade.  I said I would have to go elsewhere - it couldn't be put off.  She said she would be there in 10 minutes.  
I sat and held Muffy during the euthanasia process.  It was over in seconds.  We put Muffy in a box still wearing one of her sweaters.
I took her home and left her in the kitchen while I opened up the grave I had prepared last Fall.  I placed her in a corner of the large hole. (We have an old cat, as well.)  I covered her with 100 litres of Potting Soil and re-covered the grave with boards and tarpaulin to await Spring, when I will complete the task.
Fond memories, Muffy.  We will not forget.
