Well Duh!

Not much of profound thoughts this stormy night, not after a weekend of packing and cleaning and moving.  Just this:

Love is not about control.

Well duh!  Of course it's not.  Paul said as much when he wrote that love is not self-seeking in 1 Corinthians 13.  But we shouldn't need scripture to tell us that, it should be self-evident.  Love that requires anything in return isn't really love, it's just another transaction.  It's a contract or at least a proposed one.

Corporations and corporate churches are all about control.  They're all about getting people to do things or keeping people from doing things.  At least that's been my experience.

I wish I could get better at loving.

You're in good company. Most of us need to get better at loving. That can only happen in smaller intimate community. Puts the corporate churches at an immediate disadvantage.
