"We sometimes treat community like the safety net under a tightrope walker: it's a good thing to have in case something bad happens. But the Bible talks about community as if it's the tightrope itself: you can't move forward without it." ~The Gospel Centered Community
I can't imagine life without the tightrope of my community. These orch dorks were raising money for a mission trip to the Czech Republic this summer. One of our beloved hometown restaurants, Stoby's, is closed on Sundays. But they open their doors for local groups to fundraise with a pancake and sausage breakfast. We bought tickets and went to breakfast after church to root for them!
Another morning this week, I met my friend Lauren at the park to take advatage of an unseasonably warm day. Two years ago, in this same park, I confided to her that I was about to have a biopsy. She has stood by me through the worst of the cancer and its treatments, bringing me tea and sharing her joyful children to encourage me.
