5/7/12 I am surprised that I have not written about this previously in my blog. The concept of community is central to my understanding of the Christian faith. We can not follow Christ just as individuals. We do not know who we are except in relationship to others. To make the point biblically, the most common image for the Church in the New Testament is "y'all," a word we Texans know as you all. I had a meeting with my prayer/accountability group this morning. It is no big deal; just 3 other pastors who meet with me 2/month to talk about our souls. It is a huge deal; it is the life of sanity and wholeness for me. I am writing this morning out of gratefulness for the gift of Christian community.
Love,
Lynn
