My Heaven

For those who follow my blog - you know that it is about finding Heaven - on this Earth - in the normal things.

My post today is going to take a different tact.  I was just lying on my bed reflecting - on my life - and on what has transpired in over the last months.  There is no other way for me to say it - I have found my Heaven - and it is in a woman - Christy Anne Strike - who is undoubtedly my Eternal Soulmate!

Today I was explaining to a friend at my 'office' how we met - on Nov 26, 2024 - at our local food bank - and how immediately I liked her and knew that she was a person of substance.  The first words uttered out of her mouth in my direction were; 'I love Brussels sprouts' - to which I countered; 'so do I' - as we were served our meal which contained our favourite vegetable!

From that initial comment things proceeded rapidly - Christy moved in a little more than a week later - and in early January I didn't ask her to marry me - because I knew she wanted to - we jointly agreed on a date of February 14, 2025.

We were married at her church - St Ansgar's Lutheran Church - and because her pastor - Samuel King Kabu - was away in Ghana - she had his wife Susan walk her down the aisle.  We were married by another wonderful man of God - Peter Rombeek of Kensington Presbyterian Church -in a beautiful ceremony in front of some of our fondest friends - the number diminished because of the terrible snowstorm which befell Montreal on the day.

From that day our love for each other has grown by the moment - and I can truly say that I am looking forward to every day - and to everything that originates from my darling love - Christy.

This message is for every person who may find themselves alone or wanting of a partner.  I was never one who needed female companionship - I was always busy.  And after I reached a certain point - I was sure i would never find a true love mate.  This is to tell you to have Faith.  I am proof that if you keep your head down and do your best in every moment - and don't go looking - God will deliver precisely what you are looking for to you.  I know it as I have found it in Christy.  And Christy know it as she has found it in me!


All my love,

Neighbours Doing Good (NDG)

Image
For those who read my column regularly - you know it is about finding Heaven right here on Earth.  My NDG Project is all about this!  It is about transforming our community - and all other communities across the world - into a collective of wonderful communities - where everyone can flourish. A couple of things I have done for NDG Project in the last few days include creating a music video for the Theme Song of NDG Project - Neighbours Doing Good (NDG) - an adaptation of John Jordan of NDG's song.  You can download the song from Apple Music .  I have also started a GoFundMe for The Depot in NDG - for a program they have called Resto Depot - which is much needed by the community. My vision for Resto Depot includes opening up the service to at least 6 and hopefully all 7 days of the week - with meals available between 10am and 3pm most days.  In addition - my goal is to have live music every day - between 12:30 and 2:30pm - performed by local artists who give o...

The Key to the Universe

My story is a long and amazing journey.  In January of 2004, as I lay comatose in a bed in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit of the Montreal General Hospital for 3 days - a reel played on continuous loop in my heart and mind.  It followed my entire life - from my most junior years - to a time which at that point I had not even experienced.  God gave the name of this journey - ' Come Away With Me.  The ongoing story of the life of Ross Harvey .' It is 20 years later and this name - and the journey have stayed ever-present in my heart and mind.  God told me that He would create a series of movies about my journey and would follow this by continuous live streamed episodes - as myself and a group of 300 'Pioneers' traveled across the worlds - seeking out new horizons. Please get my books; Come Away with Me and Rebel With A Cause - which together form the collective of my life's journey - my memoirs.   For the movies, God has told me that there will be no ...

A Confession - Of Sorts

For those who read my blog posts - you know this blog is aimed at helping you find Heaven - here on Earth - in our everyday lives.  I'd like to share with you a story of my day today. River's Edge Community Church is a wonderful institution in NDG.  I had never been there physically - but have followed Lorenzo DellaForesta - the lead pastor's messages online quite often.  I love the way he presents his material - and the way the entire service is delivered - with wonderful, uplifting music by Lorenzo's wife Michelle and her twin sister Monica, along with a great band. I went to River's Edge for the service - but mainly to meet up with several friends afterwards - as they were having their monthly Community Brunch.  I thoroughly enjoyed the service and met several people from the community who I know - two of whom are helping out as volunteers!   When it was time for brunch - the people in charge had done an amazing job of establishing two identical setup...
