I've met so many Cuthills, but the search continues for how we're all related.

<b>Over the years</b> many of you have connected with me on various internet platforms. From early tools the web offered us to communicate with like <b>Hotmail, ICQ, Napster</b> and <b>MSN</b>, it was a thrill to connect with so many of you. Then as the internet matured past the "Dot Bomb" era into 2.0 applications like blogs, discussion forums and <b>Wikis</b>, writing tools gave independent publishers power to share their ideas with the world! Next video sharing startup <span style="color: red;"><b>Youtube</b></span> made sharing virtually any video of anything possible.<br />
<br />

Then everything changed again when one Harvard student coded his new social website "<span style="color: #073763;"><b>The Facebook</b></span>". At once all those shared items could be pooled together in profiles and our lives truly began to be lived out online for all the world to see. Like you, I dove head first into this promised technological utopia creating blogs like this one, forums, wikis, youtube channels, facebook pages and the like. After studying at college I worked in the IT field at a major bank. Technology was my life.<br />

Now, in the midst of a global pandemic, we have finally seen the ugly truth about our Brave New Technological World! The Coronavirus COVID-19 has brought to the forefront what we can no longer ignore. We have been reduced to slaves! Lurching from day to day on our phones. Zombies. Captivated. Transfixed. Unable to break free.<br />
<h2>
I am announcing today that myself, along with my family, will no longer participate in this slavery!</h2>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<b>Beloved, consider what this pandemic has shown us</b> about the powers of darkness! Instead of simply hiding in the shadows, they are now not ashamed to show their faces in the light! Data breaches are as common as days of the week! Companies continue to mine data from smart TVs and smart phones despite court orders, fines and outrage! There is no stopping the Antichrist from establishing his one world government and implementing the mark of the beast!<br />
<h2>
How far can we be from embedded microchips?</h2>

<h2>
My family and I have sold all our belongings and purchased a farm </h2>

to join with fellow believers who have already awoken to these truths. Make no mistake, we did not make this decision lightly. For years these thoughts have swirled, but now after being quarantined by our own government in our own houses and told where we can and cannot go we knew it was time to act. And act swiftly. Drastically. Emphatically. Our grandchildren and great grandchildren are watching. </div>

Friends, from this day forward I will no longer be using this grid of information. No more posting on the internet. No more using electricity to determine our movements. No more cell phone towers towering, no more radio waves waving. No more microwaves, ocean waves, flag waves! No more hand-shaking, fist-bumping, mood-altering, chemical-engineering, mandalorian-ing! No more baby-yodas, bird surveillance, drone-footage, squirrel reconnaissance, society-conforming, toilet-paper-hoarding, hand-sanitizing, video-gaming, netflix-binging, insta-gramming, meme-sharing! I will NO LONGER LIVE LIFE THROUGH ANY FILTER</div>

This was a way to show that our commitment to each other would last forever.<br />
Thinking about my relationship with Jesus recently I was convicted that I wasn't showing the Lord the same level of commitment. So I decided to get a face tattoo. I know i know it's a bit extreme, but talking it over with Hayley we decided it was the right thing to do. Now hear me out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheichixkTCab4QzBswgs4cF9oqFetZHKQ3s0E7UmDHDWu4H7dL8px8EHE6kideHriSHcn6ubWRBCejkAt682hyphenhyphen9H2JIR0VQVua7FRblIPMET3UKg5qY53xS0ie6FAlTBmAFJNz/s1600/shawn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="410" data-original-width="410" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheichixkTCab4QzBswgs4cF9oqFetZHKQ3s0E7UmDHDWu4H7dL8px8EHE6kideHriSHcn6ubWRBCejkAt682hyphenhyphen9H2JIR0VQVua7FRblIPMET3UKg5qY53xS0ie6FAlTBmAFJNz/s200/shawn.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
I got the tattoo this weekend and a few close friends and I saw the impact the tattoo had as i ordered McDonalds, walked through the mall and rode the TTC. So many people asked me about it and we realized it wasn't just a way for me to show my commitment to Jesus, it was also an amazing way to reach out!<br />
The next generation is tattooing their faces at an alarming rate. Everyone from Justin Bieber to Post Malone has a tattoo on their face. We realized having tattoos of Jesus on our faces was the perfect way to reach the next generation!!<br />
<br />
So with a little help and prayer a new ministry was born:<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/facetattoosforchrist"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Face Tattoos For Christ!</span></a></b><br />
<br />
FTFC seeks to reach the next generation where they are in a way they understand<br />
As the Bible says: we should become "all things to all people that we might reach some"<br />
If Paul were here today perhaps he would say: "to the thug i became a thug", "to the mumble rapper i became a mumble rapper", "to the instagram model i became an instagram model"<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Get involved in this exciting ministry:</u></b></span><br />
<br />
<b><u>DONATE</u>: </b>If we can raise $10,000 another pastor in our network will get a face tattoo! <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/face-tattoos-for-christ-ministry-ftfc">https://www.gofundme.com/face-tattoos-for-christ-ministry-ftfc </a><br />
<br />
<b><u>TAT YOUR FACE</u>:</b> Send us a pic of your face tattoo for Jesus<br />
<br />
<b><u>GUEST SPEAKER</u></b>: Invite a guest speaker to your church to share about Face Tattoos for Christ<br />
<br />

A lone attacker, Alek Minassian, rented a van and drove on the sidewalk at pedestrians, southbound on a 3km stretch of Yonge Street from Finch to Shepherd Ave. Horrific scenes of bodies and emergency vehicles followed in the media for days. Our daughter was on a field trip at this intersection the week before. Far too close to home in so many ways.</div>

<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As the city mourned the <a href="http://time.com/5251437/toronto-van-attack-latest/">10 dead and 14 injured</a>, many continued to cry out in despair: "<b>WHY</b>?!". Who would do such a thing? Did he have ties to extremist groups? ISIS? Anti-women groups? What did his facebook say? Lots of questions but not many answers. While we wait for answers let me attempt to put a few of the puzzle pieces together (Autism pun intended!). This in no way is an excuse for Minassian's behaviour, or an exhaustive investigation. The Police will provide further details, however based on what has already come out this is simply an attempt to learn from the situation in order to get perspective and help those in Minassian's situation in future.</span></div>

<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px;">
Few of these details are being mentioned or focused on by authorities, politicians or the media. Piecing together the special needs of someone like Minassian should be an important step in the investigation and perhaps this will eventually become the focus, however from my personal experience this is often sadly overlooked.</div>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px;"><a href="http://www.shawncuthill.com/2015/09/parent-of-problem-child.html">As we have seen from the Chazz Petrella saga</a>, kids with Autism need routine and a different learning environment. In Patrella's case his special program was coming to an end and the fear and dread of being put back into the regular school system was too much for him to bear. </span><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px;">Petrella eventually chose to end his own life at 12, rather than go back to the system that he didn't understand and didn't understand him. </span><br />

<a href="http://www.shawncuthill.com/2017/05/sylas-cuthill-autism-kid.html">Our own son Sylas (here)</a> has had his own unique challenges with the school system. He was on the Autism spectrum but was not diagnosed by experts or teachers for the first 10 years of his life. Suspensions, children's aid, safety plans and progressive discipline all were unable to get to the root of the problem. Finally in Grade 6 a proper diagnosis by an observant principal literally saved his academic career. We thank God for her every day.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Recently Sylas was participating in an Autism study where he went for a brain scan. While talking with the nurse she commented on how kids who are "high functioning" - like Sylas, like Patrella, like Minassian i am guessing - are only just now starting to receive support in the school system and through specialized programs. She continued with a comment that I will never forget: "Older kids unfortunately didn't get this chance - the school system chewed them up and spit them out and they either ended up in jail or worse". Only now are we starting to understanding and get help for the Sylas' of the world.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">What am I saying here?</span></b></h3>

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px;">More programs are needed for kids with Autism. Young kids who are misunderstood. Teenagers who are bullied. Kids who graduate out of the school system and are launched into an unforgiving, confusing, harsh world. Pray for parents who are out of options as kids age-out of special programs. Time will tell what the issues were with Alek Minassian, however my guess is he completed school and had to face a world he was very afraid of. A world he didn't understand. A world he didn't feel part of. A major issue for parents like us with Autistic children. While we grieve the loss of lives and look for a motive, let's prepare to do something if we indeed find out this is what it is. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Weeks after the passing of famed American Evangelist Billy Graham, executives at the organization he founded were stunned to read of the successor Graham laid out in his will. <a href="https://billygraham.org/">Billy Graham Evangelistic </a></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://billygraham.org/">Association</a> President Franklin Graham announced that Toronto native <a href="http://www.shawncuthill.com/2017/04/april-fools-recap.html">Shawn Cuthill</a> had been chosen by his father to head up the ministry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">"It was a shock to all of us" said a visibly dejected Franklin from their ministry headquarters in Asheville, North Carolina. </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">"I've never seen this Cuthill guy wear a tie and he barely gets to church on time!" the younger Graham huffed at a hastily organized press conference.

How is he ever going to be ready to preach to millions?!"</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Evangelical backlash was swift in the US, as many denounced the unorthodox Canadian choice.

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Cuthills wife Hayley though was praised by the evangelical establishment, being compared to Ruth Bell Graham and Mother Theresa. She was even born on Christmas and grew up on an island named after a Prince. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://media.giphy.com/media/eKdAVlKkv1qSs/giphy.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="129" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/eKdAVlKkv1qSs/giphy.gif" width="320" /></a></div>

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">1) You randomly worry that you don't have it, check your pocket, your heart rate quickens, you check your other pocket, find it, and then slowly calm back down again</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2) Your phone is powerful and magical. 10 years ago, if you told someone all the things your phone would do, they would have thought of it as magic. Your phone also gives you the power to do everything you would need to do to run a Fortune 500 company for weeks from thousands of miles away.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">3) You think sometimes of getting rid of your phone, but every time you get ready to throw it away, you step back from the edge and change your mind</span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: black; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 4px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">4) To the observer at a distance, for hours on end each day, you look at it, make faces at it, touch it and stroke it and talk to it.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">5) Your phone, as studies suggest, through the course of months and years, slowly changes you into a different version of yourself</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">6) Your phone gives you the impression that you have great power and are in control (see number 2 above) but it actually ultimately gives much more power to "the great eye" (i.e. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung) who, as everyone knows, is storing and cataloging and quantifying every move we make and every single act we perform with our phones, handing over to such corporations an ability to "dominate all life"</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">7) When you use your phone, you disappear to all those around you and are instantly transported to something that is like reality, but is a warped and clouded version of it</span><br />

The concert ran from March 17 to April 4 (at 11:59PM) and actually set two world records - one for longest live stream and one for longest concert!

(Updated)Over the years April Fools has been a special day in the Cuthill household. Starting waaaay back in the 90s, an April Fools joke on Hayley when we were dating started a tradition of seeing how many people would fall for my tricks. As the internet, blogs and then facebook emerged it became more and more of a family tradition to see how many people we could "fool". Here's a look back at some of the best!<br />

"This is an outrage" huffed <b>Angela McDonald</b>, great-great-granddaughter of Lucy Maude Montgomery, as she protested outside the CBC building on University Avenue with a handful of relatives. "Islanders need to stick together and what they did is just wrong". CBC executives hurriedly snuck in a back entrance to attend a closed door meeting about the fate of their new hit show "Anne".<br />
<br />
Released on CBC and slated for a later release on Netflix, "Anne" has been plagued with criticism from Islanders about McNultys Irish roots. "The girl is a green blooded carrot top!" shrieked Andrew Arsenault as he launched into a round of "From away! From away!".<br />
<br />
After hours of deliberation, and extensive DNA searches, it was determined by CBC executives in Charlottetown that McNulty was not an Islander, had no Islander family or friends, had never visited the Island and could not locate PEI on a map. Having no choice, the broadcaster cut ties with the Irish actress.<br />
<br />
In an official press release CBC named Anne finalist Olivia Cuthill to be the successor and fill in as the lead role of "Anne". "We feel the actor who plays Anne requires a certain Island heritage to understand Canada's Birthplace of Confederation. Olivia Cuthill has family on the Island, visits frequently, bought a PEI dirt shirt and even drank that horrible Raspberry Cordial we unload on tourists each summer"<br />
<br />
After learning of her good fortune Olivia could not be reached for comment, but posted on her dad's facebook page: <b>APRIL FOOLS</b><br />
<br />
(Dont feel bad, this happens every year......)<br />

<br />
We thank God every day that Sylas got the help he needed this past school year, taking him 10 years before a proper diagnosis. We would plead with parents - <b>FIGHT FOR YOUR KID</b>! We sat in meeting after meeting where experts, social workers, teachers, principals, childrens aid etc etc told us what to do or not to do with Sylas and watched him slip further and further out of control. From first hand experience we have seen that the system does not have all the answers for these anomaly genius children who are literally one in a million.<br />
<br />
RIP Chazz and our prayers for all the parents and teachers dealing with a huge uphill battle to understand and get help for these wonderfully unique "problem" kids:<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SBIckQnR7QA" width="480"></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703014.post-73182895876875928402015-04-07T08:58:00.000-04:002015-09-09T14:35:07.059-04:00Video of the week: Stand up desksNot sure how to embed this video from <a href="http://www.ctvnews.ca/health/think-on-your-feet-schools-try-out-standing-desks-for-students-1.2292324">CTV National</a> but the Cuthill's were in the news again recently!
