Loving community

The long road

Wednesday night is home group night! I can truly say that it is totally a joy!

I have come to be extremely grateful to have a group of Godly people involved in my life to care for me, look out of me and to love me. And I am happy to say that it is not a one-sided relationship.

I was blown away this evening by a great couple in our group who shared part of their journey with the rest of us.  It was amazing to see their strength and courage, how they were willing to be vulnerable and open with our community.  It encouraged and challenged me all at the same time.  Their openness enabled the whole group to go deeper in our relationships with one another.

It has made me wonder, how do we do this with young people?  How open and vulnerable should we be with them?  I understand that there has to be boundaries and I am all for that, but at the same time there must be depth, shared journey and sense of them gaining the 'real me'.
A question I believe we need to ponder some more.

Childhood dream!

Last night I lived the dream!! It was my friends 40th birthday party and the theme was 'Movie Characters' and I went as Batman! Since receiving my costume I have been dreaming about running around in the dead of night saving damsels in distress and being the hero vigilantly! suffice to say I have not as yet.

On the drive over to the party my car was filled with Batman and Bat Girl, Jigsaw from SAW and Dogtanian! Was it wrong to hope that we were pulled over by the police, just so when they asked what we were doing I could say 'Trying to save the world!'

Well, I believe that is enough day dreaming now, better go, Gotham needs me!
