Why are we so enamored with self-sufficiency?
How does self-sufficiency prevent us from connection or trust or community?
What does it mean to recognize that no one is on a faith journey alone?
What does it mean to know that we are on this journey together?
No one is a on the journey of faith alone. No one. We are Brother and Sister. We are community. We are Jesus in skin. And if that is true, it dramatically changes the way we live.

We give up the need to keep score in our relationships. We realize that we are all broken, and the Grace of God is the glue. We learn to see the face of God in our neighbor.

We learn that our identity is no longer dependent on our appearance, affluence or achievement, so we have no need to impress anyone.

We learn to receive from one another, and to give to one another without expecting a payoff. We find God’s Grace in places, through people we least expect.

We make a difference together–to serve, and truly be salt and light to a needy world.

Mother Teresa said that the reason we don’t have peace in this world is that we have forgotten that we belong to one another.
