About a year ago my wife and I started a community group, small group, house group, or home fellowship or whatever you want to call it. We did it more out of sense of obligation, me as youth pastor and she as volunteer director of Community groups. What began as obligation quickly grew into relationship and life together. In a year, the members of our group saw each other through bouts of depression, job struggles, kids first days of school and all the stuff in between. And tonight we had our last group together. We just couldn't keep up the pace. On most weeks, with both of our respective commitments to youth stuff at least one of us would be out 6/7 nights a week. And that ain't good.
So now, we are step out of our community group. With an agreement that the time will not be lost it will be time to spend with the boyz. It will be time that we can spend together. It will be time to slow down. We will miss this regular time with these dear friends but in the long run this is the right thing.
