It started with a press conference with the former mayor who is now running for MPP. I've met him before a couple times and this time he finally remembered me! Next time we're hoping for a name recall. Later that day I met a two of the most well-know announcers at the station.
I call these people 'celebrities' only because their names are well-known. I've realized all a celebrity really is is just someone someone else puts on a pedestle. And at that, I don't expressively see the value.
But it made me think. What were people thinking when Jesus came through town? (see quote below) Were they filled with longing and wonder that their saviour was walking before them? Or
did they want to rush forward and snap a photo to post as their facebook profile? Someone posed that very same question to me not long ago, and I'm ashamed to admit that the thought of getting a photo crossed my mind. Not that I felt it would have been the entirety of meeting my saviour, but I recall a time when I met a personal hero. I was practically shaking with excitement and joy. I can only hope my reaction to her will be a fraction of what I experience when I meet my Saviour.Former Governer General and Journalist Michaelle Jean and I.
When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” "
-Luke 19: 35-38
