Community

We are formed in community.

Community is both our achilles and our heart. Think of Jesus and the frustrating apostles who just didn’t get it? He worked his mission in community, regardless of the hardship, relishing the joys.

We cycle between bliss and blizzard – between the big freeze out and the warm sun. It is a bit bipolar to be sure. Regardless, we need to remember that it is in community we have the greatest opportunity to be fully human and pursue our best version of self. We cannot be our best self solo as it is in community we are challenged (as much as we are supported).

Who is your community? Know it. Love it. Appreciate it. Struggle with it, but respect it, and ultimately, defend it. It matters more than you know.
