Life used to get its meaning from the conversations we had gathered in community in places like the front porch. It was there that the wise instructed the young, the young pushed the wise to see an ever changing world, and everyone felt like they belonged and had a voice. It was there we heard the stories that made us the men and women we are today, told by the men and women who made us who we are.
The porch has slowly lost its position in our culture, being replaced with fences. People increasingly have lost touch with their neighbors, but still long for a community of people to walk the journey of life with.
That is why we gather in this place. To share life with each other in an authentic community. We may live all over this amazing world, but on the porch, we are community. Come journey with us.
This purpose of this blog is to share thoughts on worship and life. I invite you to join in the conversation. Here on the porch, we are a community, whether that is here in the Brandywine Valley or anywhere else in this amazing world. Come join the journey!
