"Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives.
That means we will not compare ourselves with each other as if one of us were better and another worse. We have far more interesting things to do with our lives. Each of us is an original."
"So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith."
Last night, a bunch of us got together to swap stories, and to consider our community life together. We kicked off with a fun exercise... we each brought an object with which to tell a story about our Summer time.
Dewi brought a bottle of cider (which we 'emptied' by the end of the evening). Rosi's object was an "imaginary collapsed wardrobe". Jon's was his new cd (available now!).
Read the rest of Phil's summary of our conversations on his Toggie tales blog.
