after a night at church where lots of friends weren't there for various reasons I was stirred to read these words from Jason Clark's blog this morning:
"I suggested to our church family that one of the greatest gifts we can give each other in a consumer society is our time, and presence."
"Community, takes time, proximity, interaction, and above all the cost of giving our time to others."

It's really true. One of the things that God has taught me over the last few years is that you can't rush a friendship. Good friendships are built only by time spent together, you can't skip any of the stages between acquaintance and soul-mates just by wishing it. I think time is a real gift from God, and so often we feel like it's choking us, but it's created for a purpose.
