Palmer Lake, Colorado
This was my last view of these beavers before I started the hike home. I don't know where these guys were heading but they were going there together.
We have so many different interest in our Christians congregations that we seem to forget that we ought to be heading the same direction. The women's group heads one way, the men's group another. The Board of Directors say this is the direction the church ought to be heading, and the Board of Elders point in a different direction. Instead of swimming together we're swimming in circles.
"For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don't use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love." Galatians 5:13 New Living Translation
We are free. As free people we have a choice: either we can either use this freedom to swim in circles or we can us our freedom to serve each other.
My gut tells me that it takes a lot less energy when the baptized swim together.
