We've all heard the quote: "Good fences make good neighbors." Most can think of a half dozen reasons to back this up as well. The truth is a barrier or a wall is much easier than having to deal with someone relationally. But, every now and then instead of putting up a fence, we take one down. It seems like it only happens once every fifty years or so (maybe as a jubilee). Oddly enough, I think it happened this week somewhere in a corner of Lilesville. What will happen next remains to be seen. I have a feeling it will be interesting and I think it's just about time someone opened the door for folks to start working on living in community.
What about you? Is there a fence that needs to come down somewhere? In the meantime, it might be worth praying about. "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
