The Things We Love Bring Us Together

This past February, Donna and I enjoyed skiing with some really good friends. Fellow pastors Scott and Kara Holmes and Paul and Cindy Burke joined us as well as two wonderful young couples from Crossroads, Mike and Jaclyn Reale and Daniel and Joanna Bergeron. Every  year, because we share a common passion, we are joined by different friends and family members as we ski in beautiful Steamboat Springs, CO.  Isn't it interesting how things we love bring us together? 

Those things are not always as pleasant as a ski trip. Many times it is the death of a loved one that brings together those who haven't seen each other in years. It's as if the final achievement of that one we cherished was putting is all back in touch with one another. Let me say again, it's the things we love that bring us together. 

That's what I love about the church. When we come together on the weekend to sing our songs of worship and learn from God's Word, it is our love for Christ that has brought us together. He is the ultimate common denominator and whether it's a funeral, a worship service or a ski trip, it's always best when we come together and celebrate our love for for Him! 

So what brings you together with the ones you love?
