Introduction

If you want to live in community with others you have to be willing to make a commitment. I'm not talking about until death do us part type of a commitment.... no wait, yes I am. If you want to live in community you have to be willing to make a commitment. To a certain degree, it has to be until death do you part.


What is genuine community living? I'm not sure I really know. I am sure that the three of us are beginning to find out. In this blog, all three of us will be writing about our perspectives on community living. We are fortunate because we live and work together overseas. So community living is all we have. We love each other deeply, but we are learning what that means. Most of all, what we have to be willing to die to in order to make this idea of community really work.


We will be writing under our alias. However, if you know us, you will know who we are. Mostly, we will be writing from our hearts. To encourage the rest of you who are living in community. We are humble in this, not at all believing that we are better than anyone. We are just people, struggling to live in close, genuine community. Struggling to not fear, to trust, and most of all to love. We love you and thank you for joining us on this journey. We hope it blesses you as much as it has blessed us.

Blessings!
