Gathering humans together
throwing out stimulus
*in an informal context - sometimes standing up dialogue
*in a more formal (but hardly) when we get humans sat down -
I love the late night opportunities .......
I love the rapport ............ fish rapper stuff .....
When you have been hurt it is difficult to trust again.
More-so to love again.
My push
is to stretch to love.
Make love.
The theory is that if we separate from people,
not liking one or another or slagging off others,
that destroys the 'community'
(the principle methodology of growth and development)
and also hinders the growth of the person themselves.
To write someone off is to damage me too.
It is old fashioned 'love your enemies' because..
.. anyone can love their friends.
It is wonderful to hear affirmation flying over the group.
One corner to another.
"I used to think you were an idiot,
a loud mouth idiot with no care and sensibility to yourself or anyone else.
Now I have got to know you, you are a really good guy. "
Love it, love it, love it.
That very issue of getting to level 5 communication
makes my heart sing and
I believe God rejoices in heaven
'because such is the kingdom of heaven'.
There are people in the group who really add some great stuff
and sometimes sit back and think .......
... something of God is being made here.
"Shalom' ........
right relationships
right community
right sensitivity
right openness
right direction toward the kingdom coming in rich and broken lives.
