A Friday Thought
Here's another thought I found a few weeks ago at Bruderhof.com. Something to ponder again as the outpourings of assistance head to the Gulf Coast. It may not take a lot, but whatever it takes must be accompanied by the community behind it.

Even with a Crust
Dorothy Day

We cannot love God unless we love each other. We know him in the breaking of bread, and we know each other in the breaking of bread, and we are not alone anymore. Heaven is a banquet, and life is a banquet too - even with a crust - where there is companionship. We have all known loneliness, and we have learned that the only solution is love, and that love comes with community.
