Pooling Our Wisdom

Isn't it interesting that you can spend all day wandering through a mall shopping or walking a downtown sidewalk without anyone noticing you, yet anyone you pass on a hiking trail will not only notice you but usually will pause to find out where you have been and where you are headed? The mall & sidewalk is anonymous.... people passing in a hurry to get somewhere else. There are far too many people to even consider engaging in a conversation. You would never get anywhere. Loneliness flourishes in large crowds. But I have yet to pass anyone on a trail who didn't stop and talk at least briefly. The power of one another on the trails is immediate, even if you are not likely to see each other again. For those brief moments the help and insight two people share can make a huge difference.

The same is true about fellowship. If Christianity is just about rituals, routines, and morals, our fellowship will suffer. But when Christianity is a life of growing dependence on God through the joys and challenges of our circumstances, pooling our wisdom about our journey along the trail becomes a natural extension of the journey.

Join us as we look at the what it means to pool our wisdom as we continue to discover the power of one anothering.
