Cultivating Community -PDL19

Seems like the Lord of the Rings video ran its course. I received some excellent suggestions tonight from one of the frequenters of this blog, restlesrolento, saying that I should link together some of my blogs. I will be working on that sometime this week.

In the meantime, I just posted some brief comments on my experience with community life beginning in my early 20s, followed by a one-page outline of chapter 19 in Rick Warren's PDL: Cultivating Community.

His point to ponder is that community requires commitment. I find that the current generation of 20-somethings crave community but resist making the commitment necessary for it to exist. Any thoughts?

Here is the link: Cultivating Community.

Lord of the Rings - Into The West

This is awessome .... courage in the face of darkness. This is the final song on the sound track from Lord of the Rings III


Lyrics

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
The night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All Souls pass

Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping

Chorus

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West
