Wise words from Nathean, and incoherent ramblings from Jamie...

"sometimes the VERY best intentions get mixed up in our words and spoil the beauty"

It has happened once again. The web of "churchianaity" has been cast. Like a net thrown to gather all the fish; to gather the loners and slugbeds, and bring them together. To create community where one already exists. To perfect community through human means, with human intentions, and human desires.

By forcing that which we want onto others, are we attaining our goal? Can we create community and oneness with fellow believers through "orders" and commands? Or,were they right? Is it strictly a generational thing?

Perhaps the reason I feel so trapped by the church of today is because my generation is so hell-bent on having their freedom, that we can't be contained by the whims of another.

Or perhaps, they are too closed minded; unaware of the outcome of their words.

Perhaps if you stopped putting me in a box, I'd stop trying to escape.
