date night!


today was another big slog. major research on the sermon - sodom and gomorrah - yikes! looks like another difficult sermon to write.

had coffee with the pastor of another downtown baptist church - shawn bellevue - really nice guy with a real heart for the downtown. it was nice getting together with him and chatting about life as a pastor and how to reach the downtown core.

tonight was date night! yay! actually it's felicia's birthday on tuesday so i bought her some flowers - we left adam with a lady from our church who lives in our building. we went to this amazing italian restaurant called circolo. it was so good. check out what we had:

appetizer - oysters w. creme fraiche, caviar and pureed tomato
main course - duck in a cherry reduction / duck pasta
desert - dark chocolate truffle

yum yum!!!

i have to confess eating at nice restaurants is a real weakness - unfortunately on a pastor's salary its not one i can readily get used to, unless someone is footing the bill. so on birthdays and anniverseries we can splurge a little bit.

as a gift i am going to get her the usual - something from banana republic. i usually walk into the women's section and buy whatever the first mannequin that i see is wearing. i can usually get it done in about 5 minutes. i think she's only returned one thing in the past 4 years we've been married.

saw charlie and the chocolate factory tonight - it was pretty good but had some wierd dark moments. johnny depp looked like he was channeling michael jackson.

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

Where the Light Falls

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

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
