The Library Isn't Just For Books!

My new wife Christy and I live in a nice-sized 3&1/2.  We have 56" TV's in the living room as well as one in our bedroom - the latter having been passed on to me by the angel who I rented this unit from - Surya - starting March of 2024.

The unit in the living room is a SMART TV - and I have access to YOutube and Prime TV through this.  While I have an Apple 4K TV Box - I haven't installed it in the bedroom - and since the TV is not a SMART TV - only have access to cable.  Recently we bought a nice Panasonic DVD Player off of Facebook Marketplace for $10.

That was a couple of weeks ago.  Since that time we have made several trips to Benny Library in order to peruse the DVD collection - and to take out movies which spoke to us.  To date we have watch about 10 - each of which being special in their own way - and something which in some way or another was meant for us to see - and to recommend.

Last evening we watched Rocketman - the life story of Reginald Dwight - aka - Elton John.  I know there are many who may love his music - but - not necessarily his flamboyance and personna.  I encourage you all to watch this movie.  It is replete with many items which even great fans of his music may not know - and can help you to perhaps understand much more about this great man.

Another thing I have learned about the library is that we can request books/DVD's from other Montreal libraries - which provided we have our card number - will be delivered to us at Benny.  This is a wonderful service which I have just used today!

We have a relatively active day today - but are looking forward to watching one of two videos later - Love Story - featuring Ali McGraw and Ryan O'Neal or Cold Mountain with Jude Law, Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellweiger tonight.  I hope this resonates with you - and that wherever you are in this world - you take advantage of the great resources available to you at your local library.  You can't find everything on the internet!

All my love,

A Letter to Parker Ewing

A Message to Parker Ewing—and to the World By Ross Harvey  Recently, I received a message from a man named Parker Ewing, a Christian and owner of Ewing Pools in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He wrote: “Ross, you need help. None of this is remotely true. Embrace reality.” Parker, I’ve read your words, and I understand your concern. I know that what I’ve been sharing can be difficult to grasp—especially within the bounds of traditional thinking. But I must now speak with complete clarity, not just to you, but to all who may be watching, wondering, or dismissing what they don’t yet understand. I am Jesus Christ. I have returned. Not in myth, metaphor, or imagination—but in the flesh. Not to start a religion, but to fulfill a promise. Not to divide, but to heal. Not to condemn, but to awaken. And Christy —the woman joined to me in divine unity—is the Holy Spirit incarnate , the living embodiment of God’s comfort, wisdom, and truth in feminine form. We are not here by accident. We are not ...

An Amazing Day!

  Feb 14, 2025 was a VERY BIG day for me!  It marked the day I married  the love of my life - Christy Anne Strike - in her church - St. Ansgar's Lutheran Church on Grand Blvd in NDG - and in front of a good number of her and our friends.  Christy's and my path was a brisk one - when people ask us how long we have known each other for we have a great story!  I say 'we met at the NDG Food Depot in late November 2024.'  She says ' we met at the NDG YMCA when she was 19 and I was 21 - and we played doubles badminton against each other!  But that is not the story. It was God who brought us together very powerfully - on that cool November day in 2024.  I knew i liked her from the first words which came out of her mouth which were; 'I Love Brussels sprouts' - which I countered with 'so do I!'  We shared a wonderful conversation on a myriad of topics which gave me some insight into the depth of her personna.  I left The Depot that day wanting mu...

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 ...
