why i keep sniping things from the third space site is beyond me....ok, it's not really - i happen to be loving what they have to say lately.  and since i haven't been able to make it to church of late (due to time constraints placed upon me by "the man" aka "the job"), their website is as close as i can come to community short of *gasp* meeting up with church people for coffee or whatnot outside church *the horrors!!!*

 

anyway, excuses aside, i really do think original thoughts from time to time - honestly - however, it just so happens that in uncanny fashion, the good folks at the third space seem to be echoing mine of late...or vice versa - whichever you prefer.

 

having recently thought much of politics and policies and blindness and stubbornness and pride and all of the kinds of things that get in between us and relationships; community; each other... I decided i really didn't want to care about any of it anymore.  I didn't want to pretend that i had, or knew who (as in another human being) had, the definitive answers.  All in all, each of us is only taking his or her best or worst educated, or most or least heartfelt, soul-searched crack at what the answers are - and that's great...but, in the end, we don't have a say.  And, in the end when I face God, I want this to be the way i've lived my life...thanks to Dave for finding the words:
