I think you're onto a good thing. We grew up listening to my mother talk about "community," and as teenagers rolled our eyes as often as the subject came up (which was often). I understand better now what she meant. Community not only binds us together in good times and happy celebrations like weddings and baptisms, it can help to hold us to our commitments to God and to each other. The culture of death seems to flourish in modern isolation. I wouldn’t characterize your posts as just rambling thoughts on a Saturday morning. I think you’re onto a good thing.
