The Christian faith holds no room for individualism. No sooner is Adam created than God declares his aloneness "not good" and remedies the situation with community. The believer, though called to a personal relationship with God, is simultaneously called to a communal relationship with other believers. Christian belief and isolationism are antithetical ideas.
~Jen Wilkin, "In His Image"
Sometimes, being a part of the Body of Christ looks like filling in each other's gaps. For my family, one of those gaps is me trying to teach PE this semester. Our athletic and kind friend Kelly has graciously been meeting with us and trying to show us the finer points of playing basketball. I so appreciate her willingness to share her gifts (and her daughter) with our family and to strengthen community.
