Thursday night is usually "small group" night at our house. Tonight was no exception.
Arriving with the fatigue of the day close on our heals, we gathered again tonight to spend a little time together, read God's word, share some laughs and perhaps a few tears, too.
What an amazing thing "community" is! 10 people (only eight present tonight) from such diverse backgrounds and experiences and yet, sharing one thing in common: Doing Life Together.
God lives in "community" (Read Genesis 1 closely and you'll find that God shares community even within Himself) and God has created us to live in community as well. Though silence and solitude have their place in our spiritual development, we are created as communal creatures (in God's image) and it is not surprising we need each other.
I am honored to be "doing life together" with the people in the group that meets at our house. They are an amazing gathering of people that can fill a room with laughter and tears in the same hour and I'm always the better for having been together! I hope and pray they are, too.
I also hope and pray you have people that you are "doing life together" with as well. Living in community is one of the great blessings of the human existence.

Kinda sounds like "authentic church" to me...
I can honestly say there is no other group of people I would choose for "doing life together". I love be a part of group that God obviously brought together for a reason! Time together is "always good"! Love you guys!
