Yaaay for the Eskies!!

Well, good on you Edmonchuck. You did it. A great (The Greatest Ever?) game. I got to watch with a bunch of guys at a downtown eastside pub. Lot's of fun.

Vancouver did a great job hosting the game and all the downtown stuff they did with the "Party on the Pacific" wa fantastic. A parade and everything. Wow.

This will be my last football related post (for at least 7 months).

So What Happened To The Lions?

Where did our 11-0 team go? So depressing. I was just coming to terms with letting go of being an Eskimos fan. I was trying to give them my heart and soul. I was going to make this work. It was a new team but I was sure I was mature enough to do it and then they go and lose.... to the Eskimos!!!! Love..uh I mean sports is a wierd thing.

Anne Rice Discover's Jesus

The former vampire writer seems to have "rediscovered" her faith. An interesting article:

Deconstruction

It seems that so much of what we "construct" in our lives needs to be "deconstructed" on a regular basis. Whether it's in our relationships, at our workplace, or in our churches, we get into ruts.

We are creatures of habit, so having a routine gives us a feeling of stability. There are things in life that are static. These things are best served by routine. But there are many things in life that are constantly changing. These things need regular deconstruction.

Anything connected to culture will need regular deconstruction. Culture has evolved so much in the last 5 years let alone the last 50 years. These things include: music, art, fashion, communication and other things.

In light of my path in life, my approach to communicating my faith needs to be deconstructed. Yet there are static aspects of my faith. What Christ has done for me hasn't changed but how it applies to others does change.

Do I have the courage to ask there questions on a regular basis?

A Post For Post's Sake

We've gone to Kamloops for a couple of days to see Kevin Corneau and Rebecca Hansen's wedding. We'll be back in time for Living Room Church on Sunday. Hope you all have a great weekend.

A thought for the day - Don't be so proud of your accomplishments that you stop to look back at them. Keep going!!!

With Apologies To All My Union Friends

I've seen the light!! Hallelujah!!!

"A Device To Root Out Evil"

Now here's an interesting piece of art. It now sits on Bute and W Cordova in downtown Vancouver. In case it takes you a while to pick out what it is I'll help. It's a church turned upside down and (apparently) rammed into the ground. The piece is called "A Device To Root Out Evil".

I can't say I have been so stimulated by a piece of art (other than music, because that comes easier to me) ever. Ask yourself these questions:

1. If you attend a church regularly, what emotions does this invoke in you?

2. If you don't, what about this piece do you identify with?

3. What is the artist trying to say (like we could know, but it's fun to try)?

4. What about you needs to be turned upside down?
