Tonight, I fell in love with the city of Hamilton. I got to go to the ministry centre and then to Bayfront park with my friends Jaden and Scott. I've never been a city oriented person before, but driving from there to my school, in Ancaster, really made me understand why cities are beautiful.
Outside the ministry centre, people that would generally be classified as "bums" talked about Bible study: "I'm beginning to do Bible study more often at home, and it's beautiful!" "Yes, the LORD is pushing me to start doing Bible study at home. Well, actually He's not pushing me, He's being very gentle..."
The drive through the city is filled with people, lights, restaurants, and general beauty. I don't normally place much stock in feelings, but in the city I simply feel good.
In school, students who would generally be classified as "normal" complain about class. " It makes me sick. No, seriously, I just want to throw up when I think about it. Seriously, it makes me nauseous." (Another annoying thing about people who have too much stuff is that they say the same thing over and over, in an effort to appear superior. Just read any of my papers.)
Ancaster, at least the part where my school is, is ice cold. Houses are hidden and lights are turned off. There are no people in sight. Highway overpasses are concrete tunnels, cold and hard. Students jut out their chests to let the world know that they have enough money to buy Hollister and Abercrombie. No one talks about God on the mountain. Why talk about the One who fills your needs if you have no needs to be filled?
I'm moving downtown. Soon.

I'm a little bit confused about this post...I'm not really sure what you mean by the quote in the middle.
I think I understand what you mean though...wealth has very little soul.
hey, i met you at Keith's screening a few weeks ago. my sister miraculously knew you when you walked in the door..
but YES Hamilton is very beautiful, and moving downtown is a wonderful idea, i wish more people like you moved here--because they loved and prayed for the city. Hamilton needs it.
have a good evening,
hannah
the city can be beautiful. but i still like the country better. it's bigger and opener and fresh air.
are you really going to move?:(
i agree, can i be your neighbor?
OH MAN all of you should move here, it would be awesome. except that i'm leaving in a year and a half, and then it won't be as fun. :(
Hey! Yep Carol-Lee... I still like the country, but cities have really grown on me. And Brittni, being your neighbour would be actually incredible. I'm not even stretching that.
Good idea!! I'm most definetly moving there too.
Perhaps the neighbourhood in which you and Brittni live will be big enough for three? :)
