Crazy day. Wake up to a 7am call back for another audition except this time with the directors.. have to be downtown toronto in two hours and its flooding bloody rain out.. eek.... okeee I am not going to spill the beans until I have the authority to spill the beans.. let hope they will be jump for joy jumping beans..... hehehehe


I speak of roses because-- ya know -- like this insight we have in christ-- hey- dead noses dont smell roses-- we gotta keep filled with this spirit - so we carry the fragrance of god with us this sensuous presence that cuts thru the deception of the world-- HIS WORD is our sword- it will show us the way we should go when we stand at the cross ways and say " hmmm,, things that make ya go hmmm......

This afternoon then consisted of shopping at wholesalers for my corporate Christmas packages for the winery- mississauga giftware wholesalers .... and wowzers-.... If you could only see my basement right now with how many luxurious roses of all sorts- paper- dried- fake-- all for my extravagant decor-- for our " garden winery" ugggg-- so beautiful!!!! tomrrow i have even more work to get ahead to lauch this web page


This afternoon- i get another call back for another Casting-- eek- this time for cocoa cola- i wont tell you the part.. ... jesus you are for real ha... Again - not going to spill any beans cause it aint nothin yet..... all in all- hey gods will be done- if not- then something better will come along. :)

B olsen is jazzin up my Funk star stoney ridge ice wine chocolates i am having exclusively made for The winery--- GOING to be sO SO SWEET!!! UH ya seriously these beauties are going to be more then just a pot of gold-- gold lustre edible dusted chocolates-- i cant wait to show you guys - when i get them in my hands!!!!

Music seriously rules. And i have been pumping up the Jam- the rhythm in my heart has been so rich lately to just shout out to god for seriously HOW good he is... its so amazing how he reminds us how he loves us- I think sometimes i forget that god does not focus on our weaknesses-- only we do--- gods strength is made perfect in our weaknesses-- His grace is sufficient-- his grace is enough!!! We have all fallen short of the glory- but he says stand firm- buckle up our belts of truth and rise up in the faith- god can do all things but fail and HE is for us-- HE knows our hearts- and he is so faithful to do what he promises-- his PERFECT LOVE CAST OUT FEAR!! PERFECT LOVE DRIVES OUT FEAR!!!

Anyways i gotta hit my sugar powdered pillow and sleep with the saint Cinnamon's.
Up in Vineland Tomorrow.

Stay fresh ripe and ready.

Met some really incredible Californiaians this aft- Who came into the Winery to sip some of our niagra styles vino.....

Check out their cute venue just out side of Sonoma --


Valley Ford Hotel, 14415 Coast Hwy 1, Valley Ford, CA


I wanted to come home with them.

The REAson?: its a new season.....

<


ok heres the REASON.
BREAD.
Reason bread. uh... i mean raisin bread.
It took me three days to make.
Yes slight dilemmas (outside my fantasy culinary clouds i live on and make many hungry hearts and belly's smile... called uh, life....)
Started with a sour dough starter (i have had a sour dough starter for almost two years in my fridge-- keep feedin this puppy....) .. then to a two day sponge ( the gluten base for really amazing texture in bread) ... then to a whole new complete sour dough fermenting starter- uh cause i accidentally left it out...... then to an overnight proof.... there were some delays. But all in all it was a good reason for this all purpose flower ----TO flourish into some pretty delicious Cinnamon raisin walnut bread.

so Lets just call it REASON BREAD OK :)

and because of this it Also is a new season eh eh eh!?
AND ps- also i do not have a recipe for you.. becuase.. the truth is.. i never use a recipe.....

i happen to be refreshed with this picture someone posted on my face book page.


There is something about the water that my flesh just longs to be near thats why i just love to have visuals of where i dream of being. That splashing refreshment of a crashing wave i am yet to experience. Kinda like life's waves- working in and thru them- letting them lead you? or chase you? or run with you? hmmmm either way its all in the under tow. thats how they bubble up. In and thru gods mighty roar.


Does anyone want to start a band?

I am being serious.




"For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of POWER and LOVE and A SOUND MIND" 2 TIMOTHY 6:7

Its been crazy day. Infact i almost thought it has been TWO days- but really its just been ONE day- just non stop- The one thing i want to do- as i get home from work- is just go twinkle on the piano. However again.. few limitations.
I live at home with my rents. And it is dead quiet in this house.

Right now I am Burning a kings of Leon cd with some of there new/old stuff- for our wine maker. Gord is a pretty darn sweet dude- traveled the entire world tasting and getting his hands, heart and palet on some pretty sweet vines. Gord who is 33 can really make love with these grapes we have up in vine land- the harvest is just about here- and aside from bringing in raisin bread for the gang today- i also figure he should need some pretty good music to keep him rockin out while he is pretty much going to be sleeping in the barrel room guarding his babies for harvest....... )) KOL-- They are alright.. but its really getting hard for me to listen to this kinda new generation rock and roll uh.... junk- (sorry no pun intended)- bunch of Lost people singing about a lost hope- that oh i just pray that they would one day find-- "use somebody?" .... uhg..... its a sad song-- there is no greater love then the love of god and Christ Jesus.... Don't get me wrong- these guys can rock out any which way or another they want - star guitar man like so so awesome (i wish i could too Jesus...) - but man what they sing about is so sad and i just wish that god would be revealed to even these kids thru music- by giving them sound minds to hear gods spirit in music--- SOUND minds!!! in harmony- not just music- in the harmony of heavenly sounds as god can erupt refreshed ears and hearts any way or another-- its the LOVE its the love lvoe love that can and will fill any void in life- even our deaf ness-- our BLINDNESS - more love more power!- -there is so much more to life then this- For what good is it for man to gain the world- from running to one thing- to the next- even in the making of becoming A big shot------ yet loose his soul- ones soul becomes even more faint and lost in the running in becoming..... A fake and more lost and in complete then ever!!!? JESUS!!! yes jesus really is the reason.

The "reason" bread.

Why we break the bread and eat it- his body broken for us-...

OH the love.

So i was going to enter the milton fall fair Pie baking contest.

Until i found out first prize was $10.
Instead my old man just offered to pay me $30 and bake him i pie.
I took the offer- plus i will get to eat the pie too :)

May do another Mtb race this weekend with my old man challenging me to race with him.
We will see how i feel come sunday morning.

This ones called uh.... " THE SQUEEZER!"
A mtb ride 35 km thru st catherines, wine country- would be a great ride with now all of these fall crisp and vibrant colours beginning to POP out!

The beauty this time of year is impeccable.
Especially this close to the vine.
Divine.
:)


Well thats just about it for tonight.
Off to bed.
Back up at the Winery tomorrow.

All Purpose Flower part # 2

No worries mate.

I am just going to leave a quick simple note to meditate on.....

"For we are God's Workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do......" Ephesians 2:10


This is so rad, and i think we forget about this simplicity when the going can get going... we are already pre-destined to be ammmmmazing for the glory of god--- in all in all that we do- climbing every mountain, in the depth of every valley.. in his divine design to deliver great and mighty works.... for he has prearranged for us in this Life of love he has called us to live....

"Many are the plans in a man's heart,
BUT>>>>> it is the LORD's purpose that prevails"

proverbs 19:21



ok gotta run but more to come on this word - and a great recipe with all purpose flour!

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing' JOHN 15: 1-5
