musings on community

through today i've seen some of what i never thought i would. a marriage between a man and woman that is still together for God knows why. a father who is not superman, and deals with pain and scars just like everyone does. a man who cannot control himself and knows what he does hurts those around him. a woman who cannot seem to let people get to her heart, wrapping herself around stories and ankle-deep relationships.

what is wrong with us, that we have so twisted what God intended for good? why does it have to be this way? i see examples around me that prove that it doesn't but my reality begs to differ. i am beginning to realize that we as humans were designed to be in relationship and community with each other; it gives us more of a completeness and integrity that we desperately need.

"no man is an island." whoever said that was right on the money.
