Better Together

Sorry for the title, to those who can't stand Jack Johnson.

I'm trying to be more consistent with this blog and check in almost every day, even if it is just to share quick thoughts or quips. So here goes:

Don Miller's blog today is about community, so I thought it'd make a perfect fit for this. He talks about his attempts to look at his faith more as a shared one, and to pray for his Christian family more than he prays for himself or even for another individual person. I like it.

He also mentions research from a heart surgeon, who found that community and contact with others was just as important to health rehabilitation as medicine was. Don says: " In other words, we were designed to work best when we were in loving relationships."

I'm going to work on remembering this, especially when I feel like I'm not at my prime. I often think the answer is alone time and isolation, but I think in many cases, it's the opposite. Thanks for the reminder, Don. And thanks community (both 30Cent and beyond), for being there.
