 Uncomfortable
Money is a difficult thing to talk about. In our culture, it is more proper to discuss sex casually than it is to reveal our fiscal situations. A little odd isn't it?
As West Edge moves forward in this time of construction, things may get a little uncomfortable. We will be taking hard looks at our ministries, our Sunday's and our money situation. That can be rather uncomfortable. But I know we will shine.
This past Sunday we looked at our vision, mission and how West Edge needs to become a presence in our communities more than just Sunday's. And that costs. It cost's time, money and energy. Nothing good comes easy so they say.
Last night at the Oscars, the best supporting actress for the movie "Precious" gave an amazing speech and it was her last quote that got me. She said "sometimes you have to forego what is popular to do what is right."
West Edge is there right now. We want to do things right. We want to honour God and love our neighbour. In a culture of sex, power and money, we don't need to do the popular thing, but the right things. And that can be uncomfortable. But WE can do it!

 The Olympics are a pretty exciting time. I remember as a kid in school watching the Olympics in class and making dioramas of the winter sports, I think I made a bobsled track, or at least my parents did.
One thing I've noticed with everyone I talk to about the Olympics this year is how passionate everyone is. Maybe its because it's in Vancouver, but there is a sense of pride in the sports and the country I see in people who don't usually show that kind of emotion. So many people talk about "our team" or say "we" when Canada wins a medal or the hockey team plays horribly.
