... I want to linger...
What does One Community mean?
When it was first started, it meant "family".
Yet now, it's all disbanded.
Have we slowly lost sight of what a community means as we go through our everyday lives, have we lost sight of what a community means as we grow more and more accustomed and comfortable with our friendships?
I admit, I'm more than reluctant to get up and make new friends, being so comfortable with the old friendships. Yes, it's nice to have people who understand you, it's nice to not have to let others know you, it's nice to be known, but have we become so encumbered by our histories, that we no longer want to write new chapters, preferring to re-read the old ones over and over again?
The One Community means family.
One family, under One God.
We learnt together, we praised together, and we encouraged each other. Yet slowly, we've all changed, and suddenly, the One Community is disbanding. It's losing the flavour that was what made OC uniquely ours. It's becoming just another stereotyped youth group, and it's becoming stale, and drab.
Have we lost that spark that OC was all about?
Food for thought...
