Tout l'or des hommes

... ne vaut plus rien, si tu es loin de moi
tout l'amour du monde ne me fait rien, alors surtout ne change pas...

*ahem* Sorry. Just had a Celine Dion moment. That doesn't actually happen that often, don't worry. I'm listening to Julia's CD at the moment - I really need to give it back. I feel quite bad about it. It will be returned before Easter. Je le promets.

So. Sunday morning went really, really well, despite the fact that I was actually a little bit freaked out about it. But hey, when I freak out about things they tend to go well, so yay. Kind of funny that I wrote something to go with a song we didn't actually sing, but it ended up working with what we did sing, so that's good. I suppose that when God wants to communicate something, he'll do it through whatever means he can get his hands on. When we did High Above, that was really awesome... in general, it was very cool. Last night, we watched The Passion of the Christ - it was the first time I've seen it. It's not something I'd hire out to watch for fun every Friday night, but it is definately something I'm glad I've seen. It was also the best place to see it - at church, with an opportunity to reflect about it afterwards. Church is all done up cool for Easter, despite the building project. I think that our CO's wanted to do something to stop the building project from taking over so we could really focus on Easter.

This week leading up to Easter is a little stressful, I must admit, most because I've had two tests today and I have my big dissertation due on Thursday. I've gotta go get myself a French dictionary and obsess over minor details all day tomorrow, then type it out on Wednesday. I'm actually quite worried - I'm not sure if my level of written French is quite up there yet. I really have to work on this quite a bit... I'm just hanging out for Friday! Easter Camp is going to be awesome... anyone who is so inclined who reads this blog, pray for Mirjam. Something tells me that this is going to be very significant for her. It's already started. It's just going to get bigger and bigger.

Random little anecdote - accidently got a baked bean stuck up my nose at dinner. Don't EVEN ask...

Before I jet, one last thing - a little thought I wrote in relation with Easter. Actually part of one of my songs, but it's been going through my head all week:

Anyone else would have given up
No one else thinks that I'm worth enough
But you suffered and died all because you love me
- that's the greatest love story.

ALP,
