fellowship

Living life like it is a grand adventure.. it is how I choose to live.. even IF sometimes.. it isn't really as GRAND or ADVENTUREOUS as I would love for it to be..
sometimes... like Frodo or Bilbo Baggins.. life is simple and times are quiet because you are in the shireland..
othertimes you are climbing mountains, riding down rivers, fighting terrible evil, going through forests so dark, walking down paths so narrow...
and sometimes.. you aren't going AT IT alone.. nope.. sometimes.. your vessel isn't so SLICK as the one above... sometimes.. you're ridin' awkward...
sometimes.. perhaps your ridin' tandom...

now.. ya might be think to your self.. that these here vessels are not so pretty.. that they aren't so fancy, or sporty as the one above..
But the point of the matter really comes in.. which holds more folk?  can you keep dry, anchor them?  Are you able to bail water our if need be?  have you abililty to tandom the vessels and keep together?
Because sometimes... in life.. goin' at it alone is the way we are to be going...
but sometimes.. fellowship is what God's calling us to ..
see.. IN THE BEGINNING.. He did look at Adam and say.. it's not Good for man to be alone..
and in the NEW Testament.. we are commissioned again to NOT forsake the gathering together of the Saints..
so...
are ya feeling the pride swell in yer fancy boat.. feeling the greatness as you glide solo on the waters...
or the joy of the frollic in the silly ugly boat.. laughing, and knowing your brethren, and learning yourself in all new ways? 
knowing your Lord, in the learning and knowing of HIS people....
gather friends.. find time to gather, and rejoice, to laugh, to cry, to teach, to pry, to learn, to pray.. know one another, be family in Christ together.. it is .. GOOD
