What makes a place? What combination of people and buildings give an atmosphere? Am I really living somewhere that people write songs about? Mayer sings, "I don't think I'm gonna go to LA anymore," and I realize Johnny has that option. He is a real person, you know, he makes real decisions. He'll probably come to LA though.
Life moves a little more quickly when there are people in it. Community does something to the look of it - like on Saturday when I spent time just being with people. I mean that literally, we just were, and I think that it was my favorite. Find me a category and I'll give that adjective a noun. When I think about the next couple years I am reminded of how small I am. I am not the main character - I am actually somewhat of an antagonist. He is greater than I. But I hope that I can spend the next couple - or maybe the rest of - my years being comfortable with people the way I was on Saturday. On Saturday I think I was 1000 miles north.
I wish to be in that place, be it "1000 miles north" or a place of community.
ReplyDeleteYou just quoted my favorite John Mayer song. As if I didn't already love you like crazy / know that we are the same person... :)
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you feel like home there. I can't wait to see you and hear how the Lord has been working in your life, my dear.
