A Sports and Movie Sunday!

It was a busy day for Christy and I today - Sunday.  We were up early to go for the American Buffet Breakfast at Playground Poker - where you get an amazing buffet for $15 - no tax or tip - with a $10 play voucher each which we very much enjoyed - playing but losing ultimately on electronic blackjack!  From there we did a tour of Chateauguay - Christy's stomping grounds in her youth.  We then got our groceries at Super C on St. Jacques and ended up in little Parc Leduc - next to Kensington Presbyterian Church on Grand Blvd - sitting in big Adirondack chairs - enjoying the sun and breeze - along with the music coming from a morning of Yoga in the Park.

Christy headed to church just down the street at St. Ansgar's and I went home to watch the French Open Men's Tennis Final - between world #1 Jannick Sinner and world #2 Carlos Alcaraz.  It was an incredible 5&1/2 hour battle with Sinner taking the first two sets and Alcaraz coming back to win in 5 sets - 7-6 in the fifth!  The proceedings were so long they ran over into another big sporting event - The RBC Canadian Open Golf Tournament - at Osprey Valley in Caledon, ON - where the lead changed hands many times over the afternoon - with Ryan Fox of New Zealand winning a four hole playoff over Sam Burns of the U.S. - who had carded an amazing 62 - 8 under par on his Sunday round.

In the middle of the afternoon I turned off the television in favour of watching a movie - V For Vendetta - with Christy.  Just looking at the cover of the movie I wasn't so certain I would enjoy it - but by the end I was cheering for V - the movies' hero.  I won't tell you much about this, but will say that it is in the library system for anyone from Montreal to borrow.  I encourage you to - and believe you will count it as I do as one of my favourite movies.  November 5th will always have significance to me - and if I didn't see things getting better - as I do - I may have even been rallied to try to effect change in the way that V did!

Following the movie - and the golf playoff - Christy and I made 'eggs in the hole' - carving out holes in English muffins and grilling them with an egg in the hole.  They came out even better than on bread - especially with a healthy helping of liquified and hot butter over them!

It was yet another glorious day in our 'continuous, upward and never-ending spiral through the infinite levels of Heaven (on Earth)!'  I hope you got to see the tennis or golf if that was something you value - and I hope you will check out V for Vendetta - and maybe even try eggs in the hole - with butter!

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

Image
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...
