We began our journey together on Sunday, October 7 at The Loft. Collectively our prayer is to become known to one another, to love one another, to encourage, pray for and support one another, to worship our God and to celebrate together. For the next month or so we will learn about each other and begin to care for one another---we begin by learning from Donald Miller's life and spiritual journey through Blue Like Jazz.

This Blog is dedicated to our group as a place for musing or reflection---that's why I entitled it Loft Community Musings. As Christians, we are called to be people of Spiritual Disciple---one of which is a life of quietness or contemplation. By definition, musings are one's words or discourse intended to express its author's reflections or to guide others in contemplation.

We begin....

Last night we listened to Miller's words about community. If we are honest with ourselves, we certainly can relate to Miller's assessment that we have thought (or still think to a degree ?) that Christian faith is something a person (me) did alone and that we (I) have (or I am now) living and contending with a difficult lie---"that life is a story about me." Praise be to God that our Father brings us to community (may I dare to say, even this new Loft Core Group community) to "rid us (me) of this deception." (p. 182) Thoughts worthy of discussion and a time of musing.
