we miss out on the gift of one another. There is an actual gift, a way of delighting in other people

that I think we've lost, especially in recent years where people are easily just sort of

corralled into these groups in our head, church friends or family or a political party or an

idea or a denomination. Like we love to just put people in corrals, right?

But when we look at one another individually, we're able to see a richer tapestry of what God is up to.

Let's tell the listener the important thing first.

Yes, I did take you to an abandoned water park in the middle of nowhere once.

Looking for a waterfall we never actually found.

No, it was like a little bit scary movie-ish, like where we were like, wait, where have we gone?

What is happening?

Do we have self-service?

But we made it out and that's all we can ask for.

All of those questions did come up into our brains, and I think we verbalized them as well.

Listen, you had every reason at that moment to no longer trust me, first and foremost with directions,

but also possibly with friendship, because where have I taken a friend saying

that this was claiming that this was like a good spot to take photos?

Anyway, it's a memory.

It is.
