I was reading in a blog on the sojourners web site today about a place called friendship park between the Mexico/America border. One of the things that happens at this park is that every Sunday afternoon, people from San Diego and Tijuana celebrate communion together. Each staying on their own side of the fence, yet bridging that divide with the love of God.
Earlier this year, someone in the U.S. Govt decided that we needed another fence around that park so that no one could get to it. My heart hurts for those folks who have found a way to bring God into a miserable situation. And yet, my mind is set into motion, anxious for the news of the ways they will create to still celebrate the love of God with each other in some way. May we all be so determined to share the love of God in every way that we can. You can read more about these amazing people at the following web site.
