Today I had the day off from school and was able to go to the Bible school. Yeah! We were praying for Canada, and God was speaking to me about my Canadian roots. Many times I am excited about other countries (such as places in Africa) that I forget about Canada. Maybe it's because I don't really think we have a "culture." While praying though I realized we have such a rich culture. Where else do you find both French and English cultures, First Nations cultures, and immigrants' cultures from all around the world? I also realized that I know almost nothing about the French culture. As a true Canadian, I think it's important to know even a little about the different cultures that make up our nation. I believe that God will use Canadian "multiculturalism" to take down walls between people groups.
Last week too I was at North Poplar, the fine arts school in Abbotsford and a popular Canadian musician (Michael Mitchell) was singing songs about Canada. His album was called "Canada is For Kids." I appreciated his songs. They had very much an East Coast feel with lots of fiddle sounds. I want to go to Newfoundland now and learn to play that kind of music. It's great stuff.
