Our neighbor.

Finally unpacked and settled in. (Linksys seems to be ok - Jamie). My home office is almost set up - I really love it, mainly because it has a huge wooden desk, where I can lay out a lot of books. I wish it had a door, though - the young 'uns wander in quite often.

Interesting day. Went to the bank and ran into a mother and son from the church. Then I went through the A&W drive-thru and the guy who handed me my junk food, had been at the church for the first time on Sunday - he recognized me and introduced himself. I wanted to pretend the teen burger and root beer wasn't for me. Instead, I invited him back on Sunday.

And then tonight, I went for dinner with a friend who is getting baptized and wanted some guidance on writing his testimony. As we were leaving the restaurant 2 young good looking servers - one Asian guy and a blonde girl told me that some of my friends from church said hi. I asked if they were in the restuarant. They sort of smiled mischeviously and said no. I looked closer and realized that both of them had also been at church the previous week! I invited them back - they both said they have Sundays off, so they could probably start coming regularly.

So, in one day I ran into 5 people associated with the church! The power of incarnating in the neighborhood! I was so encouraged! Another confirmation that this is exactly where God wants us.

Some new music - Randy Newman, M.I.A and the new Chris Tomlin.

Randy Newman is most famous for singing songs for Pixar films. He is quite sarcastic and funny as seen in the song "A Few Words in Defense of My Country". M.I.A. is on Chris Rock's playlist - she is a Sri Lankan electronica performer - very very catchy. Tomlin is a very popular worship singer. The album is good, but Tomlin's lyrics get too lovey dovey for me - like Jesus is a really good looking guy who wants to date me, and this is how I feel about it.

Yeah, our Linksys generally work 80%. We only find a problem when the Mac does a heavier download. Glad it's working! Great pic too.

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

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

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
