Augustine College, Ottawa, with John Patrick MD
Augustine College is a Christian project in Ottawa, Canada. CMDA top speaker John Patrick, MD is one of the founders. They do several important things: taking students who have graduated high school, college, even medical school and beyond and giving them a one year intensive classic faith based education; taking practicing docs and dentists for a one week series of seminars on similar topics; and sponsoring lectures and writing throughout the year.
I attended one of the week-long sessions and HIGHLY recommend it. During the time we met some of the students and they are a bright and engaging lot. If you have a child of the proper age, you could sure do worse than to send him or her for a year with John and the rest of his accomplished and faithful faculty. They might even come out able to spell Honour, Colour, and Programme Properly!

Never leave your partner behind!
Review of Fireproof, a new movie coming out this weekend. I've heard good things about it from a fellow elder at church and from one of our pro-life PA's.
Never leave your partner behind? What fireman or Marine or policeman could live with himself if he left his partner in a dangerous situation? What doc or dentist abandons his colleage in an operation? But, how many of us leave other partners behind--spouses, children, parents, friends? I've done it!
We'll see if we can carve time out to see Fireproof soon so Hollywood gets the message to continue making good films.

When a Christian stops...
When a Christian shuns fellowship with other Christians, the devil smiles.
When he stops studying the Bible, the devil laughs.
When he stops praying, the devil shouts for joy.
