A LaCarte Glass



It is time to go for a drive to do some business, the weather is fine, the sun is shining and the temperature is pleasant. When I jumped into my van, I am shocked as I settle into the driver's seat and look out the windshield, I notice a large crack in my windshield which wasn't there yesterday. Oh, well, I guess I shall have to see about getting it fixed, and soon.
I thought about this situation and tried to see who would be available to fix my glass, I had heard that a person could get a repair job done which would save the price of a new glass so that was the way I was going to try. I knew that there was a place in Chaput Hughes that did auto glass repairs and replacements but I didn't think it was still in operation any more. This one was called Apple Auto Glass and was a chain of branches across the country, but I was sure that they were no longer in business so I had to put the brain in action again. This whole deal about getting rid of a crack in my glass is getting to be a bit of a pain, now what was I to do? Oh, by the way, I believe that the operator of Apple Auto Glass had started up an auto glass business on his own in a different name. If your employer takes your job away by closing down the chain of businesses, then why can't a person start up their own business in their own name, after all I have heard and seen this done many times over. I believe that this is good business practise and good economics for the area he is in (in this case Kirkland Lake,Ontario).
I drove up to A La Carte Glass, behind the Canadian Tire Store on the north side of Government











Rd W and entered his business. A young man met me at the counter and was very polite and pleasant as he told me that the boss was out for a few minutes and would be back shortly. He took down my name and phone number and promised that his boss would phone me when he got back. As it happened, I was away for awhile from home and just thinking about going home at the pre-appointed time of the return phone call so I decided to call around to the glass shop again, after all it was almost on my way home and I wanted to meet this gentleman. I went into the shop and Mr. John LaCarte met me at the entrance to his office and recognized me. We started to chat about my problem, first of all asking about the incident, how it happened, if I had noticed any evidence of glass problems such as a stone chip, etc. Then he gave me a quotation for the work, which I felt was quite reasonable and fair. We made arrangements to follow up with the actual removal and replacement the following Wednesday, giving me enough time to get other jobs done and time for them to order and receive the proper glass for my van. I went home a very happy man.
I followed up on the arranged day for the work to be done and was told that because of the snow storms, the delivery would be late in the day on Wednesday. John suggested that he would do the job on the Thursday seeing it would be a little late for that day, I felt Thursday was not good for me as I needed the van for a good portion of the day and the next day was a holiday,
Good Friday. We both settled on the following Monday morning late and that is when I headed to A LaCarte Glass for a new windshield. I arrived at 10:30 Am, a little early, but it doesn't hurt to get there early so they can have a little extra time if needed and I didn't need the van that much on Monday. John's father, Terry, drove home with me and took the van back to the shop for me. At about 2:45 PM Terry came back with the van, sporting a new windshield and looking nice and clean. Now I have a new windshield, a clean van and a happy camper. I can only say that I will strongly recommend anyone to go to them for auto work.
By the way, glass repairs are not the only thing that this shop does, they do cleaning interiors, auto trim and various other jobs that vehicles need throughout their lifetime. I even asked John about the rubber weatherstripping for older vehicles to see if he could source these for a person. I have a personal reason for asking him this as my wife and I own a 1971 Ford camper, which I am restoring and enjoying at the same time. Our camper could take some new weatherstripping for the windows in the front doors are shrunk and create a lot of noise when you drive down the road in summer. John told me that there is no trouble getting this material even though it is for a van that is 38 years old. Hurray for us, we can expect to drive in a little more peace in the future and maybe a little warmer in the cool weather as well.
Well, so much for our saga of the cracked windshield, it is replaced and looks shiny new. By the way, John told me that if I had caught it at the time that it was just a chip, then he could have done a process to stop it from spreading and requiring a whole glass. Darn, I didn't even see the chip until the crack was there. Next time I had better pay more attention if I think I might have been hit with a flying stone on the road.
Carry on guys!!!

Advanced System Care

I was looking around on my computer this morning and found that it was acting rather slow and difficult, not wanting to do what it was designed to do. The other day, I wanted to download some pictures from my camera and even though I went through the proper channels to do the job, it would not behave itself. The computer didn't even admit that it has a USB port to hook up to some outboard accessories, such as cameras, memory sticks, etc. I tried all of the things that I normally use to make my slave answer the call to duty, including putting it to sleep for a minute or so but no such luck. Finally, I started up my new cleaning program called Advanced System Care, a recommendation from my dear brother. As it went through its procedure of checking (Diagnosing) the system optimization, Security Defense (to prevent and remove spy ware), Disk De fragment (sorting and organizing the hard drive files into neat configurations) and Security Analyzing ( checking and sorting out hijacked settings). After this is tested and repaired it goes on to MAINTENANCE where it tests for Spy ware (spy ware and ad aware- a form of virus), Registry Fix (corruption in the Registry files- the part where the computer looks for its operating instructions), Privacy Sweep ( erasing all records of activity history) and Junk Files Clean up( getting rid of excessive baggage.
All of the above sounds like a lot of gobbledy gook to any one not knowing much about computer technology but they do have a very important position in computer workings. If you really stop to think about it, the computer operation and non operation is very similar to the workings of the human body and mind. When we don't feel well we usually go to see the doctor and let him DIAGNOSE our body or mind for problems and possible viruses or germs. After finding the results of these tests, the medical team perform whatever is needed to get rid of these malefactors to clear up the infections. As I mentioned in a previous paragraph, my computer wouldn't recognize the USB port because of a bad thing that entered into my computer and lodged in the memory somewhere and blocked the path way that leads to the USB port so there was no signal going through there or maybe redirecting it somewhere else instead. After I did the care thing, this path was straightened up and worked okay afterwards. The program even checked the disk defragment to improve the speed and efficiency of the computer by organizing the files on the hardrive so that all of the parts of the programs were lined up and organized in an orderly fashion so the computer doesn't have to look all over the hard drive to find a program. We know what it is like to want a tool and look all over the house, garage and shop only to find that we left it in the car on the last trip of the summer last year. Another thing that is checked is Hy jacked settings done by some bad gremlins from the Internet coming into screw up the nice organized confusion of our units so the keyboard asks for one thing and the computer does something else or doesn't do anything at all.
This can also be applied to our normal or not so normal lives as we carry on day in and day out doing our things, working to make money, paying the bills, trying to make a living. Some times we get tired of doing the everyday hum drum so we go adventuring, maybe to the casino for a few quick bucks made by playing craps. As we start to play the game, it lets us win a little but later, the tables turn and we start losing but we are determined to get out money back. This determination starts eating at our soul as we throw more money on the table to try to win back our losses but it never does happen so what is the end result? Addiction to gambling and bankruptcy. Oh, well it was fun while it lasted, but was it really fun after all when you drag yourself home with empty pockets and the nagging knowledge that you still have a big stack of bills to pay and no money to do it, maybe not even enough money to buy food for the table next week. Now what have I got myself into? This is a prime example of diseases and obsessions that mankind has been prone to but he will not admit it because he is his own man and able to live his own life according to his own plan. Or is HE??????? If God were allowed to entered the events of his life then these mistakes would not have happened. Just think about it.

The last thing or topic is called MAINTENANCE which is not fixing things but keeping things fixed after all of the cost and work of repairing whatever is wrong. Again this thing called Spy ware is checked and removed ( I believe that it is a gremlin that invades the computer and takes information from your stored files as well as planting nasty programs to do tasks that their inventors are planning to do damaging our programs to their benefit). The Registry file is a file of instructions telling the computer what and how to do things but when you try to throw a wrench into a gear box, pieces fly all over and their is a lot of grinding heard. The Registry is like the gear box and the pests from the Internet are the wrenches thrown inside.
Isn't it nice when we can go here or go there and come back home without our neighbours asking us what we were doing at such and such a place over the last few days because they know where we went and what we were doing? This is called Privacy and is a privilege given to all people but when hackers get into our computers and find our private stuff it is not so nice. This program will erase all traces of old activity so there is very little left to be exposed to outsiders.
The last but not the least is the Junk Files Cleaner. As you all know, we tend to be pack rats whether we like to admit it or not as we store junk as we go along and first thing you know we have 10 tons of junk in our store room in the back of the house so what does one do about this? Get rid of it, and all things are lighter and quicker to react or work so that is what this program does also. The whole end result is that our machines act like they were almost brand new with the speed they had when new.
We can also put this aspect in line with God's maintenance plan as He guides us in our paths so we won't stray very far off course before you get the wake up call to turn one way or the other and straighten up.

This has been a long discourse on computers and bugs, not really the whole meaning of this posting but an observation I have realized lately. As we go through life, we tend to go our own merry way doing things and getting involved in activities, relationships and involvements in life that are not really desirable, especially to our God. He has designed us to come onto the Earth to be born, grow up, mature, to learn and become proficient at something or other. We get sidetracked by all sorts of things like smoking, drinking, and the list goes on. As we do these things, our resources such as money, health, mental capacities and capabilities suffer as we go down hill from our original path and so does our enjoyment of life. When we are in school, we see some special lady that takes our eye and figure she would make an excellent wife but if you get involved in drugs and spend all of your money and health on this addictive thing, then I can guarantee that the marriage and life that you really desired with the apple of your eye is not going to happen or if it does then it will not survive. Even if you stay clear of these addictions and grow up lusting for the biggest and fastest car ( like a Maserati) it will create an obsession to make enough money to buy this or that and the trend continues. The same happens with careers and many more things.
If we were to get acquainted with our creator God early in life, then I can pretty well guarantee that our lives will be better, more worthwhile and profitable ( maybe not in the normal sense but in ways that will show themselves as better than money). The pleasures given us in a healthy, non addictive lifestyle will more than make up for what we are giving up. I have never seen us going short because we decided to go to church and give our 10% to God instead of going to the Bingo on Saturday or hoarding it to ourselves in the bank which gives us such little interest anyway. The pleasure is much better I can guarantee.
I hope that I have given you a little enlightenment on our lives compared to a similar situation we see everyday and no doubt if you are like myself, are aggravated by the garbage that infests our computers each and every day of our lives.
These are my thoughts.

Jesus final days on earth

When the men found the disciples, They told them of all the happenings and then Jesus appeared to all of them again to tell them of all of the prophesies that were fullfilled and also to show them His wounds in His hands and feet.
To prove that He was alive again, He asked them for some food to eat, they gave Him a piece of fish and He ate it. Jesus reminded the eleven that He had warned them about the things that were about to happen so they would be forewarned. After Jesus had risen again and gone up to Heaven then the job of preaching to the masses about repentance and remission of sins in the name of Jesus was left with the disciples to carry on after His departure.
Jesus went out with the men to Bethany where He lifted up His hands to the sky and started to rise into the air above them as He departed on His return to the Father in Heaven. The disciples would see Jesus no more but they later received the Holy Spirit whom was strength and guidance to them all to carry on the work of the Father then and always.
Since then not only Jesus disciples, but millions of people on this Earth have been used to tell of Jesus coming here, teaching the Word and bringing many to repentance of sin so they could be guaranteed an afterlife in Heaven.
This is how I interpreted the Easter Story.

He is Risen

It is now Sunday, the third day after Jesus was crucified on the cross. All of His disciples were discouraged by His death, He seemed to be such a good, powerful person to let the priests, scribes, etc put Him to death. Such an awfull ending to a wonderful life that we knew about Jesus.
Early in the morning Mary Magdelene and the other Mary came to Jesus grave, no
doubt to start preparing Jesus for His proper burial with spices and wrappings for the body. When they were on their way, they were discussing how they would get the big stone moved away from the door. As they approached the cave, they felt an earthquake which had been caused by an Angel from Heaven coming down to earth to move the stone from the door of the tomb. The two Marys saw that the stone was rolled away already and an Angel dressed in shiny white clothes was sitting on top of the stone. The Angel spoke to the women and told them not to worry for their Lord and Saviour, Jesus had indeed risen from the dead and was heading into Galilea ahead of them.
The two ladies were heading into Jerusalem to tell the disciples that Jesus had come back to life again but Jesus met them on the way and commanded them to go the disciples and tell them that Jesus had risen and will meet with them later.
Meanwhile the guards raced into Jerusalem to meet with the priest to tell them what had happened at the tomb. When the priests heard their story they gave a lot of money to the soldiers and told them the story they were to give to anyone asking about the lack of a body in the tomb. They were to say that the disciples had come and stolen the body of Jesus in the night and that is what has been told since that day.
Two of the disciples were walking to Emmaus (a town near Jerusalem) when Jesus came along to walk with them, the disciples didn't realize that it was Jesus. These
men were talking about the events of the previous days and Jesus was asking them questions about these events as though He knew nothing about the events. When they finished with the story, Jesus started to reprove the men for their lack of knowledge of the scriptures which told of His coming to earth, growing up as an ordinary man, ministering to the masses,healing the sick, raising the dead and then in the end,dying on the cross, a criminal's death at the hands of the religious leaders of the day. Shortly after the men approached the village they were destined to go to, and started to enter it. Jesus appeared as though He was going on but the men encouraged Him to go in with them and stay overnight. All of the men sat down at the table to eat, Jesus took the bread, blessed it and broke it. After He finished this, the men's eyes were opened and they realized that this man was indeed Jesus, risen from the dead. Just as that happened, Jesus disappeared.
As they pondered over these events, they felt that they should return to Jerusalem to tell the eleven disciples about their sighting of their Saviour and returned to Jerusalem.
We will see what happens in the Life and Times of our Risen Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Continued tomorrow.

The Day After, The Sabbath

On the next day after Jesus' crucifixion, the chief priest, pharisees and the temple guards were all gathered together as they figured it was very important to look after and protect their reputation, after all Jesus Christ was just a trouble maker and He still could make trouble for them. When Jesus was still alive, He stated that He would die and three days later He would rise from the dead to life again. and the religious leaders did not need that to happen so they planned to keep the tomb under lock, key and guards for the next while. Soldiers were posted outside the tomb with a large stone placed in front of the opening of the grave and a seal installed to make sure no one could get into the tomb to disturb anything or steel the body, especially those pesky disciples of Jesus.
Not much went on this day but the guarding of the grave so we will let the people carry on until tomorrow.

Easter Friday

It is now Friday, Jesus is still in the posession of the soldiers, priests and the government heads of the town. Things are not looking good so far. The priests had taken Jesus to Pilate, the head of the Roman government for that area and tried to prove to Pilate that Jesus was a real bad dude. However their accusations were just that, accusations, and didn't hold any weight so Pilate decided that "The King of the Jews" was not guilty of anything as far as he was concerned so go take Him elsewhere. Next stop on the merry go round was with Herod, he was the local person of authority for Jerusalem. Herod was anxious to see Jesus as he had heard rumours about Jesus and His miracles that He had done. I believe that Herod actually wanted Jesus to perform for him and entertain him. This was not to be as Jesus was not in the mood to entertain any head of government whether that person was a local head or a bigger district head. He was there for a purpose and that purpose was not doing miracles to make politicians laugh.
Seeing that Jesus was not co-operating with these people, they started to taunt Him by wrapping Him in a royal robe and then sent Him back to Pilate. Maybe Herod figured that if he couldn't make Jesus dance then maybe Pilate could. Because of this happening, Pilate and Herod became buddies, which is something that had never seemed possible before that date.
Pilate gathered the mob of priests, scribes and the people to address them and said "You have accused this man with many riotous actions before me but I can't find anything wrong to entitle me to have Him killed. Even Herod couldn't find anything wrong either because he sent Jesus back to me to deal with. I will give Him forty lashes and send Him on His way! We do have a tradition here that allows me to release a prisoner to you, the one in mind is Barabus so make up your mind whether it be Barabus or Jesus?"
The crowd was going wild and yelled for "Jesus" to be crucified with no other recourse in mind. Pilate finally gave in and announced that Jesus would be crucified to keep the mob satisfied.
Jesus was taken to the Praetorium where they stripped off most of His clothes, tied him to a post and struck Him with a whip that had pieces of steel and glass fastened to the ends of the thongs. When the thongs hit his flesh, it tore the flesh and muscles underneath so it was causing much distress to Jesus. I can guarantee that if that was done in modern day time there would be a serious uproar and a jailterm to the people doing the whipping but that was the common punishment in those days.
After this was done, the guards took Jesus and placed a crown of thorns on his head and shoved it down into his scalp. Then Jesus was made to pick up the cross beam and carry it to the hill outside the town where he and two thieves were to be crucified before a large crowd of onlookers. As Jesus was moving along the street, He collapsed from the weight of the beam and the loss of blood from the whipping. The guards picked a bystander from the crowd, Simon from Cyrene, and forced him to carry the beam for Jesus.
When the procession reached the top of the hill at Golgotha (the place where the crucifixions took place) the guards took Jesus and threw Him down onto the beam so His arms were spread across it. There Jesus was nailed with three big spikes to hold Him to the cross, one nail in each wrist and one nail through both legs above the feet. Then the cross was raised and the bottom was dropped into the hole prepared for it.
There were three crosses in three holes with two criminals and Jesus standing on the hill at Golgotha on display in front of the crowd, waiting for the three men to die of suffication because of their crimes, but Jesus had done no crime and was suffering for Mankind's sin.
At the sixth hour of the day, the sky turned pitch black and stayed that way until the ninth hour. Jesus cried out in another language "My God, My God, why have you forgotten Me?" Shortly he cried out again "It is finished" and He died.
Many strange things were occuring at that moment as the earth was shaking as in an earthquake, the veil in the Temple tore in two, the ground opened up and many dead souls came to life again and walked into the city. Boy that was weird.
The next day was the sabbath and no bodies were allowed to stay on a cross at this time so they had to be removed from the crosses. A rich man named Joseph from Arimethea, asked to take down Jesus body and the soldiers agreed so it was done. Joseph took Jesus, wrapped Him in clean linens and placed His body in Joseph's own new tomb that he had carved out of the rock. After this he placed a rock across the opening to the tomb and left. Mary (Jesus' mother), and Mary Magdelene were there watching Joseph as he placed Jesus in his tomb.
Well that is all for this dark and gloomy day so we will close on this scene and wait to see what happens tomorrow.

The Salvation Army


I went to visit the local Salvation Army Church in Kirkland Lake, lately and had a guided tour of their premises. They have moved there recently over the last five or so years, from a crowed church property on a back street in town as well as having their Thrift Shop in a rented store near the downtown section of town. The new location is a definite improvement from the last one as they now have property at the front and one end for parking and they don't have to worry about blocking neighbours driveways on either street at the corner where they used to be. The building is much larger and considerably more modern with a more comfortable environment as well. The building houses their church sanctuary, the Thrift Store, the food bank, as well as the Captains' office. The setting is very pleasant as you walk through the front doors into the entrance area at the front. The Army has also installed a ramp at the front adjoining the entrance so it is wheel chair accesible and that is a good thing. As you can see from the pictures that the building is very modern looking and very inviting for a person to enter into. The location is just a short town block north of the main street on the East end of Kirkland Lake. The inside of the building is very well laid out and efficient in its use of space. The sanctuary is on the left of the main entrance door so it is quite accessible for people going to worship services and any other activities going on. The Thrift Store is on the right end of the building and also very close to the front entrance. There are at least two people on duty when it is open for business on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Army carries a good supply of clothing as well as other household goods such as kitchen appliances at prices that are well affordable to anyone of any income level. Their sale goods are in good condition so the buyer doesn't need to worry about getting it fixed shortly after purchasing it. There is also a food bank run in this building to help the needy people in our community, with the economy the way it is today, there are many souls with hardly enough to fill their stomachs three times a day so that is part of the mandate of the Salvation Army to help look after the needs of the underprivileged.






I have included a brochure from the Corps explaining their purpose and goals.

"Giving Hope Today"

The Last Supper


This is a news article as it would have been written back in the time of Jesus, if there were newspapers like those of today.
This series of events took place in a city in Israel, called Jerusalem. Jesus Christ was with his apostles talking and they were asking him about the Passover celebration and where it would be held. Now you see Jesus and his crew had no place or residence of their own so one could almost call them vagrants or whatever word you would use but the truth was that they were traveling missionaries in the land.
Jesus told his men to go to the town and look for a man carrying a pitcher of water. they were to follow him to his place and ask him to let them use his guest chamber. Here the apostles were to prepare the feast for their Master. Jesus and the remainder of his crew joined them here in a short while so they all could partake of the Passover meal that was part of the Jewish tradition.
When the men had finished eating, Jesus took off his robe and proceeded to wash the feet of his men. Next He startled them with a statement they did not expect. He said that one of them was going to betray Him and of course everyone was asking "Is it me?" and He replied it is one of you 12 men. Judas, one of Jesus' apostles and money bearer, departed from the scene and reported to the chief priests as he had already planned earlier.
Backing up a little bit earlier, we will see what Judas was up to. He had met with the chief priests , I guess because he was getting a little disgusted with Jesus, maybe because he had thought all along that Jesus was going to overthrow the Roman government and solders whom had overtaken the whole country where he lived but he was finding out that this was not Jesus' intentions. Anyways, Judas saw a way to get even with Jesus and make some quick money while he was at it. Getting back to the story, Judas visited the priests and asked them what they would do for him if he did expose and turn over Jesus to them. Their offer was to give him 30 pieces of silver, Judas thought, "not bad at all" so he accepted this offer.
Meanwhile back at the party, when the meal was over, Judas had left the party and reported to the chief priests , telling them where and when they could arrest Jesus and take Him to the High Priest. He arranged with them to lead them to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsamine and when he kissed Jesus the soldiers and priests would subdue Jesus and put Him in custody.
In the meantime, Jesus had invited his apostles to follow him to Gethsamine so He could do some serious talking with His Father, God and that is what they did. While Jesus left them and walked a little distance to a private spot so He could pray, the apostles fell asleep instead of praying with Him. He prayed earnestly to God that He would not have to go through with this but if that is what the Father wanted then He was not going to be rebellious and refuse to do so. Finally, Jesus stopped praying and went back to join the others, whom He had to wake up. A crowd of soldiers and priests were marching very noisily towards them carrying swords and other weapons. Judas came forward and did his deed by giving Jesus a kiss as he had promised the priests that he would do and identify his master for them.
Well things were going downhill from that moment on as the guards were approaching Jesus to arrest Him and one of Jesus men took a sword and sliced off an ear from one of the High Priests servant. Jesus didn't think this was necessary so He put His hand on the servant and healed his ear right then and there. I bet the priests didn't think too much of that!
The soldiers arrested Jesus and took Him into town to the High Priests house for further action.
To Be Continued-------------
Sorry for the disappointment but tune in tomorrow for the continuing Saga of the Easter Story

Service Please



Today's article is about one of Kirkland Lake's automotive service centres "Kirkland Tire and Auto". Shawn Armstrong and Chris Lambert are the owners/operators of this establishment and offer , first of all, tire sales and installation/repairs. Beside this , they perform automotive diagnosis and repairs to all makes and models of vehicles including full size cars / trucks / vans and compacts. Along with the road vehicles, they repair small engines like lawn mowers, snow blowers and atv's plus many more items I can't even think about right now.
Chris and Shawn have two service technicians and an apprentice looking after the many jobs that the customers bring in to them
The boys have used car sales in their repertoire and have had some rather nice units for sale at reasonable prices
.
Kirkland Tire can be found at the bottom end of Main St in Kirkland Lake and are open from 8:00 AM to 5 PM Monday to Friday every week so come on down to see the boys and they will be glad to look after you.
