the body

today i took A to the movies. we have been so busy since we got here, i thought we needed a mommy daughter break. so we went to the theatre to watch rio. during the previews i saw something that really bothered me and i just thought that i could write a little bit about my feelings.

there was a commercial about having church in the theatre and if anyone was interested there was an website to look into. that made me really sad. is that what the body boils down to? come into a room, sit next to people watch "church" on the big screen and then go home? no shepherd to lead them? no one to be involved in their lives? i am still so sad by it.

i think of the body that i left in indonesia and the body i came back to here... and i know that if it was a body that looked at a screen like it was a movie... then i wouldn't be experiencing the body that Christ intended it to be right now.

i could go more into it, but i feel like it would not be wise, since it is a growing venue out there... don't want it to be a debate... just wanted to say how sad i was. after reading the book of acts... it makes me even sadder.

Jesus when will you come?
