Winnipeg

Well here I am in jolly old Winnipeg. It was 2 degrees when I flew in on Thursday. It was about 20 degrees in Toronto, so it was quite a shock! It has warmed up nicely though and today (Saturday), it is sunny and warm.

Anyway, the Canadian Church Press conference is now over. We finished this morning. It was quite good. Good speakers, good entertainment, good tips. And great awards banquet! I shockingly won three awards! I got a third (which we still get a certificate for) for a news story I did on Sharia (Muslim) law. I got a first for my Israel story (which I was really happy about) and another first for the same story I won for in Florida - the girls and bullying story. What a great treat. I was quite pleased!

But now I have to shift my focus to the next story - the one on native ministries that I begin working on tomorrow. I'll start in Winnipeg visiting an inner-city drop-in centre visited mostly by Aboriginals. I'll be there on Sunday for worship and small groups. That should be interesting.

Anyway, the Kentucky Derby is on TV right now, so I really have to go watch it. One of these days I'll actually get there to watch it in person.
Until next time,
A.

I wanted to read your article on Bullying so I found it on the internet.

That is where I found it if anyone else also wants to read it. It was really good Amy. I don't know a lot about journalism but even I can see why you are winning awards.

Aw thanks, Kristy! I'm glad you found it online - my mother in law will be happy b/c she wants to read it too.
