Living in Community “Sure, I can read about someone’s burdens and joys, but can I truly weep with those who weep when they are in their house and I am in mine? I don’t think so. I can weep for them but certainly not with them.” “Clearly, we have a problem when we seek community on a medium that is more about us than it is about others.” Kyle Tennant, (unfriend yourself)

Face to Face Interaction “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together.” - Hebrews 10:24-25 “Though I have much to write you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete.” - 2 John 12
