Let’s say ‘the bus’ is a group of people who all meet together in the same church building once a week - a congregation of a particular church. Some of those people are on ‘the bus’ 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each bus has slightly (or possibly largely) different ideas on issues concerning faith, leadership, the Christian walk, etc. The people who stay on the bus all the time for the most part hold to the ideas of that particular bus. The bus might stop beside another bus and the people on those 2 buses may talk to each other while waiting at a stop light or in a traffic jam. But each person stays on their own bus.
There are people, however, who do not ride the bus all the time. They might get off and go for a walk. Or they might board another bus for a while and then get back onto the first bus. They don’t necessarily hold to all the ideas of the bus they are riding. While not riding the same bus 24 hours a day/7 days a week can broaden a person’s perspective and help them test more thoroughly what they’re hearing, their relationships with the people who ride 24/7 seem to be affected. It’s like when you get onto a bus and everyone is talking and laughing, but you don’t know what they’re talking about and you’ve missed out on the joke. After being on the bus for a while, you can pick up on the conversation and enter into the discussion, but there always seems to be a lag time when you first get back on the bus.
As I’ve been thinking about this analogy, some questions have popped into my mind:
Is it biblical for a congregation to ask everyone in that congregation to hold to the same ideas?
(I used to think this was the way towards unity, but now I’m not so sure)
And if this approach is biblical, what place is there in this framework for people who don’t think the same as everyone else? Or who don’t necessarily hold to the same ideas (although they can agree on the foundations of the Christian faith - Christ’s death & resurrection, for example)?
Can we or are we able to accept and embrace those people who don’t ‘tow the party line’? What do we do with those people? Can they function in unity with the rest of the body of Christ?
What does unity in Christ look like?

My sister’s wedding was yesterday. It was a long day, stressful at times (like trying to get to the church on time), but overall it was really good. I’m happy for my sister. Curtis (her husband) is a nice guy. It felt kind of wierd when he called me ’sis’ but I’ll get used to that. My boys handed out bubbles and did really well during the ceremony and reception.
My extended family met Leighton for the first time yesterday. They’re all really happy for me, and they keep saying they’ve heard good things about him (although I wonder from where; he hasn’t spent a lot of time with my parents yet). But I’m glad that they all like him so much. It makes it a lot easier.
My family said some nice things about me yesterday. It was good to hear. My dad isn’t that expressive when it comes to emotional things and I seem to only remember the negative things said when I was growing up. I think I came to believe that my family didn’t really like me (although I know that’s not true), especially after I had tarnished their reputation. I realized last night that maybe I’m more accepted than I thought I was. I guess that means I need to lay down some of my defenses and let them ‘in’ some more.
The highlight of the evening was watching David, my oldest boy, who is 9, dancing with Tori, a 9 year old girl who is part of Curtis’ family (Leighton got it all on video). I’ve never seen David interacting with a girl like that. Part of me was laughing at his initial terror, and part of me was thinking “I’m going to be dealing with this in a few years!”. I am so glad Leighton is around to help deal with all those ‘guy’ issues which are completely foriegn to me (otherwise I would have been calling in Darcy and Kelly to help deal with it :))
I am glad that the wedding is over, though. I had to do a lot of piano practicing and now that that’s over, I can work on my own wedding and maybe things won’t feel so crazy around here (although I’m sure that’s wishful thinking).

Long day. Too tired to blog. There! News about me.

Sarah is now blogging at carebearsunshine.blogspot.com. I’m beginning to see more and more the benefits of blogging. My life has been so crazy lately I realized that I really haven’t spent very much time with my friends in the last while. It’s not that I wouldn’t want to, but other things seem to have crowded in. As most of my friends have now joined the blogging world, I can read their thoughts and see what’s going on in their lives. I feel more connected and less isolated from them than before.
Now all we need is CWG’s wife to start her own blog. She says she doesn’t write, but she can talk on the phone for quite a while, so what’s the difference between that and just typing those same thoughts out, I say. She’s also been known to comment on other people’s blogs as well. Maybe if I bug her enough online, she’ll get fed up and join us.

“The very future of our country, and of our children and grandchildren, literally depends on whether we can preserve traditional marriage and the natural family in Canada.” - quote from Defend Marriage, Canada! Newsletter in reference to legislation legalizing same-sex marriages.
I am not in favor of same-sex marriages. But this quote stood out to me. Is this really a true statement? What does the future of our country truly depend on? Is it man’s actions? Or is it God’s divine power? Or is it a combination of the two?

Life’s pretty crazy for me right now: work, kids, my sister’s wedding, the list goes on. I’ve got lots on my mind but no time to put it down in writing. I hope this whirlwind will stop soon. I really don’t like being this busy and as I’m in the midst of it, it’s hard for me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m sure this is sounding like a pity party. I’m sorry. It’s also much more challenging to be positive when under what ‘feels’ like a mountain of stress. I need some perspective. But maybe I’d better stop for now. When life slows down, I’ll be here more.

My good friend, Ninette, has jumped on the band wagon and started up her own blog. You can catch her at Livin Forgiven. She absolutely amazes me. God absolutely amazes me. I have seen Him take her life and totally transform it. She ‘glows’. Before she became a Christian, just a few years ago, she was a completely different person. And she has allowed God to do this amazing work in her. Everytime I see Ninette, I am encouraged and my faith strengthened. If God can do such an amazing thing in her, nothing is too difficult for Him. I look forward to hearing what she has to say.
