I love community . . .

. . . wherever I find it. :)

Whether it's over tea,

paired with some delicious food

and shared with some sweet ladies from church . . .

Or whether it's found in an online game, fighting a shrieking, unhappy dragon,



with a group of good friends (many of whom I've never met in person) . . .


Sharing old jokes and thinking up new ones . . . making each other laugh . . . the comraderie that comes from shared accomplishment . . . long heart-to-heart conversations . . . creating memories that last . . . moments that make you smile . . .

Community

God Himself knew how important community was when He said: "It is not good for man to be alone." (Gen. 2:18) Ever since the beginning, He's seen to it that we don't fly solo.

I am very thankful for this.

Not just because I am a "people person", but because relationships matter. God uses them to teach us, shape us, bless us, and change us. Unlike anything else on the planet, relationships last. They will last an eternity. And they make all the difference as we journey on this earth.
