We live in a real world, in the twenty first century, with all it's beauty, dirt, joy and pain. Some of us have a belief system that was birthed in Genesis by our creator and has never stopped developing - bringing with it all the tension and freedom that hits the fan when theology meets the concrete...

I love God, I love my wife, I love my family and I love this amazing place we call the earth, with all it's problems. I also love the future hope of heaven, the living reality of forgiveness and trying to figure out how to make a 4000 year old Eastern Book make sense in our modern day world... 

I bounce between Pemberton and Langley every week. Langley is a busy traffic packed suburban sprawl - Pemberton is a mountain play-ground, one of the best back yards in BC. But both places are full of people who have a spiritual component to their lives, people who wrestle with all that life throws their way ... and I wrestle to; I enjoy sitting and listening to people's stories, it challenges me and my beliefs to search for meaning in the chaos - someone once sang that life is "Diamonds and Rust", it's a great thought. Treasure hidden in rust... the Bible talks about hidden treasure, if the Bible is what it says it is... maybe we can find some good stuff there. 

I believe we can - if we're willing to put in the time to dig around a bit, that's one of the reasons I love pastoring in Pemberton, you can't play in the enormity of the outdoors without feeling small somehow, and it makes you wonder Who's out there...?
