I am on Facebook and usually post something on my status every day, but most of my friends are not on Facebook. Many of them ask me to write updates every so often of what is going on in my life and the lives of my children. These letters are usually long. I post them here for others to update old friends or to allow new ones to know what has been going on in my life. It is in the sharing of our lives with one another that we become family and thus the real church. We can’t become the church if we are not open with each other about the struggles and the triumphs in our lives.
