Joyful Transformation

Wow. That bears some thinkin'
 

Excellent qoute. For the first time in my life when I attend "worship" it is with people that are strangers to me as I am to them. I still avoid any fellowship for several reasons. While the worship and proclamation of the Word is stirring, I know that a crucial dimension is missing. Bonhoeffer's "Life Together" is one of the best works on this subject.
 

Most days I want to move & start over - my "community" doesn't feel right anymore, because I tainted it. Everywhere I look, the past haunts me. It's draining me.
 

Finding a good "community" with which to share the journey is awesome. I don't always have that...and I miss it when I don't.
 

I'm thankful for you reiterating that statement... though it's convicting me on several levels. It's like I went from being ALL ABOUT COMMUNITY in my life to a place where I rarely get its benefits. This all or nothing thing has never worked for me... but I keep on keeping on. Such is the voice of insanity!

The blog community is such a blessing... seriously. But it still lacks the face of a soul-friend. What we've got here has to be in addition to the flesh and blood people in my life. I tell ya though... the temptation for me is to make my community right here... I'm so thankful to have found you on this journey, Donna.

Well, Wimbledon has come to an end. Back to life in the real world for me!
