Living and building community isn’t always easy, is it? Common ground and ego awareness is a good first step but I know I didn’t address the complete picture when it comes to conflict. I kept thinking all about the restlessness and violence occurring this week and my answers seem so weak. Need to pray more and be open to more learning. Yes I love those Bonhoeffer quotes too. Have a great weekend, Martha!!

Community can be hard at times. This is one reason I knew I had to dive into this – still lots of other ways to handle things – always in prayer, of course. I know I try to think first: What is the most loving way to respond to this?
