I have been occasionally blessed by the opportunity to be in similar situations, it is always frigintastic.

I hope so too, but more importantly I pray so.

In the book we are going through in my young adult class, I became a Christian and all I got was this lousy t-shirt, the last chapter talked about “walls” and how it is really hard to love through walls. I think the inverse may also be true, it is hard to love but it is easy to fear/hate through a wall.

I agree, we grow when we aren’t comfortable. Comfort = stagnation. Look at a nice pond that is perfectly comfortable, nothing stiring it up and moving it along, that is a dead pond that reeks. Unfortunately that is also the church in America.

I think you mentioned this to me back in college or something, at least it sounds familiar. I think it is a great idea and something I am talking to the leader of our Prime Timers about getting started.

Fantastic story. It's such a blessing to have older people and younger people in a group. I'm very much in agreement with a lot of what's written in this post. I think dividing us up based on certain characteristics is a very unbiblical idea. Thank you for coming and and saying it here.

In general, I think it's our nature to only hang out with those in who are most like us… but, and of course God knows this, the greatest growth occurs when we're challenged. That's when the Church truly grows in wisdom because the faults start to cancel out more instead of grouping together and causing problems… almost reminds me of genetics (which makes sense because this is the body of Christ).
