President of the World?


Sophia turns the world upside down.

rI czx bcm I zM AQW - Sophia's comments on Barack.

She had control of the keyboard for a minute. The global consensus on Barack is he is the greatest thing ever, with the exception of the Prime Minister of Russia, who failed to mention Barack by name during a 45 minute state speech. Barack it seems has been elected president of the world divinely chosen to lift us out of the morass of 8 years of the failed Bush doctrine into the promised land of the ideal America that resides in the back of most people's minds when they think of the words "liberty and freedom". We want to leave behind the America of Gitmo and corporate greed and embrace a nation that cares for the poor and uses its incredible wealth and power to help others.

I was chatting online with a relative who lives in the States who celebrated with champagne and tears last night. I mentioned that there were parties all over Vancouver last night to celebrate the monochrome suited messiah. She was rather surprised.

I tried to get a copy of 2 of the national papers - but they were sold out, as people wanted a memento of history to keep.

In my own life, I went to visit a member of our church who is sick in the hospital. As I was reading a Psalm to her from my black Bible, I glanced over at the nurses station which was just a few feet away. There were 3 nurses there, 2 females and 1 male. They all had a sort of bemused look on their faces as they observed me. I wondered if they thought it was rather quaint or odd, to have a pastor praying and reading scripture with one of their patients. I asked Felicia what she thought. She said most nurses are too busy to consider the actions of a minister or priest praying with a parishoner. She also said that there is still a vesitge of respect for men and women of the cloth as they are sort of still viewed as bringing some measure of comfort to the ill.

That fact made ME feel better.

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
