Richer Friendships, Stronger Churches

"Friendships are richer when we are different.  They can actually be better when we find those people who are our opposites.  They rub off our rough edges.

Churches are stronger when we come from different backgrounds. We all add our wisdom to the work, wisdom that has come from vastly different experiences and lives.

And because of this, I think community is better when we aren’t alike. Our lives would be so much sweeter if we were less consumed about the what’s and why’s and more concerned about being friends and letting others into our lives and hearts without worrying about the outcome."
