A PASTORAL PERSPECTIVE: Saying Goodbye

by Tyler Harper

It’s been almost 15 years, but I can still feel the awkwardness in my body as I stood at my friend’s door.

It was the end of summer and in the coming days were both to experience significant and exciting changes in our lives; mine included a cross country move and an exciting learning opportunity. This was a good thing, this was something we both had looked forward to, and yet saying goodbye was hard.

Acknowledging an absence, preparing for separation is often uncomfortable, as it was for me on that warm August day. But since that day I have had to say some goodbyes that were even harder.

In the past 5 years I have been forced to say what seems like a final goodbye to too many people who matter deeply to me. When you know that the upcoming separation isn’t just a matter of geography or scheduling, but death Saying goodbye doesn’t feel good, it actually hurts.

Being separated by death is uncomfortable, it is painful, and I would argue unnatural.

French philosopher Simone de Beauvoir once wrote “There is no such thing as a natural death…. All men must die: but for every man his death is an accident and, even if he knows it and consents to it, an unjustifiable violation.” This is a reality that is also reflected in the Christian Scriptures, that death was not part of creation

but only enters the world after humanity rejects who we are as creation.

Saying goodbye in these sorts of situations doesn’t feel good, because it’s not the way it was meant to be.

But there can be hope.

Goodbyes don’t have to be forever. Because the story doesn’t end with that rejection but with resurrection, first for one very particular person who overcame death in His resurrection on the third day and one day for every person who have ever lived.

This experience can be hard, it can be scary, it can be lonely, but it can still be good because of the possibility of relationship and resurrection.

Goodbyes can be good — even when they are hard and the reason is revealed in the meaning of the word itself.

Joseph Shipley’s Dictionary of Early English notes that goodbye is a contraction, a shortened form of the phrase “God be by ye”, or in our English ‘God be with you’.

When we allow God to be with us we can know that these goodbyes aren’t forever, that there will be a not just a tomorrow, but an eternity — one that is fulfilling and free from pain, sickness, and death.

Goodbyes will always be awkward, they will often be hard, but they don’t need to be forever.

Tyler Harper (tyler@ chasechurch.com) is the Pastor at Chase Evangelical Free Church

Lee Creek Subdivision cut short by a troubled economy

by Jim Cooperman, shuswappassion.ca

Mike Riley began his subdivision in earnest, with plans for three phases. The first phase, which began in 1973, focused on the highway and View Road, where his mother Beatrice had already sold a few lots on the lake side of the road. Due to the steep hillside on the northside, the building sites were located above the road and while the address for these lots was on View Rd. the actual access was a narrow unpaved alley off of Hopwood Road.

Likely the first house built in the first phase is the home below the cliff on the north side of View Rd. To market the lots, a small sales office was built on the highway across from the water intake. It quickly became obvious that the office was not attracting much attention from the highway traffic, so it became a storage building. Despite the low prices for the lots, between two and three thousand dollars, sales were slow, and many were purchased as investments by Mike’s friends and associates.

Once the water pipes were laid, marketing began for the second phase along both Hopwood and Lee Creek Drive. Tom Campbell built one of the first homes in the second phase on the corner lot where Hopwood meets Lee
