the heart of man reflects man

Visited a school today whose staff could barely contain their fondness for each other. They spoke of their trust in each other. Of their friendship that extended beyond school walls. Of their willingness to do more than required in support of each other's work. Of their shared mission and bonded commitment to achieving that mission. Just a wonderful model of perfect collaboration.

It always saddens me to see models of love in action that shame the church. A flock that shared all the above qualities would receive its reward in smiles from above. No wonder the world feels no urgency to follow Him -- His flocks seem no better off. The church should never be the lesser of two of evils; it should be the most reasonable choice of every free will.
