Lindsey…once again you communicated what has been on my heart recently about having online friends and community. I love your heart. Since I am a pastor…it just makes sense…"a social network"…that is what the church is all about. So, for the record, I love it when you drop over to my blog, and I love reading the randomness and brilliance of your heart!!

@kyle, thanks for sharing (even if you were late in the game . i had read your comments yesterday on pete's "forgiveness" post and was curious about your conversation with your conversation. i agree we could all use a good definition of community. i'll be thinking on that.

Community. A big 9 letter word. I have been learning lots more about it lately, how I fail at it at times, how I live for it most times, how Christ commanded it of me all the time.
In the past I would have to say I disliked the idea of online community. And at times I still have mixed feelings about it. However, I do like to read people's blogs…I get the feeling that I am not the only one that goes through some of the things I do, even when no one I talk to face to face does.
Thanks for sharing your life.

I know I am a little late to the game on this one today.
But I had this discussion with my grandpa the other day about community.
I did a 4 part blog series on small groups and what i thought was going on and some good and bad things about them. He read the post and then was pretty critical of my idea that we need to work more on community than on studying the bible (if you think I am crazy read the series if you would like here: http://thoughtsaboutnothing.com/state-of-small-gr...

What he continued to ask me was to define community. i thought it was a good question. We seem to throw it around a lot. You know, be apart of a community, blog or comment to bring community, but have we ever defined or talked about what community is.

I have started to really look at what I think community is and looks like.
I would love to hear what you and others thing community is and your definition?

Thanks
Good post BTW
