There is no question that the life that we try to live with other at SP is much harder than the format of our collective Christian expression.
It is amazing how many times I fail the people of our community. Many times there is nothing I can do aboutit, or even know that I am doing it.
The truth is that we are all so lacking, that we not only need each other but we need grace in our lives with each other.

I have to keep being reminded that there is no way to keep every relationship ideal and that we are called to live in love and forgiveness with each other.

I had a very Andrew Jonesesque day yesterday.

We worked in our garden most of the day. Tilled the far back yard creating a 60-foot long, 8-foot wide wild flower garden, which is one of the metaphors Andrew and I have used in discussing church leadership in the future.
We then built two raised garden beds from Cedar and tilled the area for the vegetable garden.

Some friends stop by last night and had a fire outside. I then took a bath and went to bed.

A very Andrew day indeed.
