Toronto blog entry #3
sunday i attended people's church (supposedly with my friend, but she slept in...whoops), where the pastor spoke about Jesus' views on religion. his three points included rules replacing religiosity and externals replacing internals. i suppose a lot of people have a distorted view of Christianity because of all the legalism and 'strictness' they anticipate they have to abide by once they are 'converted'. may God's light shine through His people, that all may know Him.
sunday after church, Annette, John and i went around Pacific Mall, which i found to have more interesting and varied boutiques than First Markham Place. my cousins tried out two massage chairs, and ended up buying one, while i got to enjoy a free fifteen minutes also (auto massaging, so there were different areas targeted and using different amounts of pressure)! at night, all the family ate out, along with Shirley and Laureen, at a restaurant in Harbour City.
yesterday afternoon i did some window and self-shopping at Eaton Centre, then had dinner at Baton Rouge with Su, my friend from high school. we had some good catch up, and it was interesting to reconnect after so many years of not seeing each other. then i took the public transport (TTC) back.
my uncle's family from San Mateo arrives today, and it'll be exciting to see them all again. my parents and i head off on our East Coast tour tomorrow morning and will return August 1st. i'm so looking forward to seeing all the beautiful views, and escaping the plus 40 weather (yes, with humidity it's supposed to be like this all week here in TO). signing off till next time :P
