grey day blues




weather was crappy all day - grey and rainy like freaking winter.

summer is gone out the window and with it all my dreams.

no videos i want to see - might go see war of the worlds on monday.

big football game tomorrow - labour day classic - sk vs. winnipeg. - starts at 4.

me and the boy again tonight - he had the giggles tongiht and couldn't stop laughing. it was hilarious.

i think i need a hobby - all i do with my time off is read and watch tv. what do other people do to occupy their spare time? i looked up hobbies on the internet and went to a site about model airplanes. somehow i don't see myself building a model airplane and then joining some club of other guus that build model airplanes - meeting in come community center or school basement talking about - how the heck should i know what?

hmmmm - hobby - maybe photography - i like taking photos. maybe i'll take a class on digital photography and learn some stuff.

oh - a lot of blogs ago i talked about how i was going to chart my weight loss on here - well i picked up a hobby that sort of ran counter to that goal - i am trying every flavour of ben and jerrys ice cream to determine which is my favourite. so far i've had - cherry garcia, choclate chip cookie dough, coffee, mint chocolate cookie, new york super fudge chunk, the gobfather.

tonight i got chunky monkey - so far cherry garcia is the best. i'm gonna stay fat - sad sad sad.

The self-driving car comes closer
It is an old chestnut-a car that drives itself-but General Motors, the world's largest car manufacturer, has become the latest company to claim to be building one.
Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!

I have a work from home company site. It pretty much covers work from home company related stuff.

Come and check it out if you get time :-)

Hey what about a book club? just an idea. Though i would stick to photography if I were you. It's more fun if you are seeking a bit of solitude.

Go to church

We are several months out of even the most limited pandemic restrictions. I cannot remember the last time I wore a mask. When I see someone wearing a mask, it feels nostalgic - a reminder of a strange time when that person was the norm and I - the unmasked one would look strange. Despite the fact that we can break the 6-foot barrier and admire the lower halves of other's faces - I have been surprised at the number of Christians I meet who are just NOW starting to return to live worship services. I understand the lure of the live stream worship experience while sitting at home on the couch - worshipping in sweats and hot coffee in my mug - much more appealing than a hard couch and no coffee. I've also met believers boldly walking away from regular church attendance and proclaiming they can worship God anywhere - including the pickleball court. Nature is my sanctuary. "God’s Spirit and gift of salvation are not defined by church walls. But without an embodied community of be

Coaster goes up (a little)

Unused photo from the Globe and Mail shoot. So, last night and all day today I was on the top floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Vancouver. Quite auspicious surroundings for church council/pastors meetings! there were stunning views of the North Shore mountains, Stanley Park and the downtown buildings. The meetings were lengthy, exhausting and a lot of work. Basically, FBC has been on a year long journey of crafting its vision statement and core values - we did it with the assistance of a coach from Outreach Canada. We are coming down the home stretch and needed to hammer out everything for presentation to the congregation. Today was the first day that I have begun to feel lighter and ready to resume the work. Although still feeling wounded from this whole mess, I'm ready to limp on. It's true: Sunday,Monday - elation at finally reaching a goal of holding a first@night service in a trendy nightclub - excitement at getting press coverage - even thoug

Where the Light Falls

Image
I've read two books by Augustine - City of God and Confessions. I think I've read his confessions 3 times. I like him because he is a good writer, has lots of self-insight, and loves God passionately. He was very honest about his pre-Christian life. At one point he makes this observation: "I had my back toward the light, and my face toward the things on which the light falls." Most people have their back to the light - and they focus where his light falls. Where the light falls refers to God's common grace. God does not keep good things only for those who follow him. Because he is good he distributes his blessings and grace widely. Where the light falls are places of grace: art, music, beauty, sunshine, loving relationships, a baby's smile. But - these things are not the light - to enjoy and encounter the light, we must turn around and follow the rays of light back to the source. What is the source of beauty, love, and truth? Jesus said he is the light of the
