“This stiff neck couldn’t have come at a worse time.”  That is what I woke up saying on Wednesday morning of last week.  It was 5:00 in the morning and I could barely move.  I can’t ever remember feeling pain like that in my neck (insert your own marriage joke here) and it seemed to come at the worst possible time (emphasis on “seemed”).

Why was it the worst possible time?  Because on the next day, I was supposed to be travelling up to Toronto for 5 action-packed days.  The main event during this trip would be two Outreach Nights hosted by my good friends at SMSV church.  During these nights, they invite all the Christians and non-Christians in the area for a night of spiritual revival.  They advertised on the radio, in the newspaper and online.  And this year they expected a larger turnout than ever before – the facility they rented accommodated close to 900 people!

And the main speaker for both nights….FR. ANTHONY MESSEH!  The guy whose neck is so sore at this point that he can barely lift up his head and talk at the same time. What great timing for this stiff neck!
