You Wanna Change the World...

...but you don't wanna change your ways.

From Claibornes comment about doing dishes to Durden's advice about ownership, we hear a common theme: idealism and dreaming vs. real life, habit, and craving for security. In community the battle is brought to the front lines of sharing, sacrificing, and learning to be patient. We come here to learn and we miss the lessons. We come for community and we cling to our independence. We dream of revolution and we dont take up our cross. Sometimes we don't even lay down our lives. We look outward and struggle inwardly. We cry for justice on the Earth while there are theives in the temple of our heart. Surrender is imperative, we say that we agree and we walk in disagreement.
Jesus, chase them out! help us to desire the means to the ends that we really desire. May your kingdom come and may we your people learn to let go and love.
God help us.
