I don't really have a problem with the way we do it now except that it leaves me wanting(but wanting what I'm not sure as you can see) and we'd probably all agree ours is dry. But at worst it's fairly typical and unoffensive. The silver cup holders though make me wanta think they came from a catholic church garage sale. But shiny silver stainless steel is indeed practical. <BR/><BR/>You know I'm going to say that we're shortchanging ourselves not to do it at all, so I definately am for partaking in any sort of last supper celebration we put into the schedule.Todd Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07460516882625598170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16662993.post-22638780430801511082007-09-30T14:53:00.000-07:002007-09-30T14:53:00.000-07:00Nice post Todd. I have struggled with the Communio...Nice post Todd. I have struggled with the Communion thing. My Grandpa went so far as to say he didn't even think we should do it, so I was always guilty for even thinking about doing it. But then I got over that. <BR/><BR/>But, like you, unfortunately, I'm a bit bored with it. I want it to be something real as well. I doubt we could replicate the atmosphere of the actual event, impending death as well as a betrayal having just taken place, and not sure I'd want to! Paul does seem to say that examination and seriousness are a big part of it BEFORE HAND. The event itself, as you say, should be joyful or should at least leave one with joy. <BR/><BR/>I've got some ideas and I think I'll try some of them. You'd be surprised how many people have objections even to the stuff we do now. It's unreal actually. But I guess if people are going to be offended you might as well make it count. Thanks for thinking on the issue and sharing your thoughts.jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08661253413210243056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16662993.post-70907813550133589672007-09-29T18:21:00.000-07:002007-09-29T18:21:00.000-07:00As for Adam, I'm pretty share he's a make believe ...As for Adam, I'm pretty share he's a make believe spam figure. His links don't work and I don't remember ever caring about a diet. I have been losing a little weight lately, thankfully, by working hard and eating less. But primarily because I'm broke and I figured that would be a good angle from which to save some money. Oh, not dangerous broke, just broke enough to get mad at the junk I don't really have to eat and which isn't doing me much good.Todd Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07460516882625598170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16662993.post-870076783822843482007-09-29T18:15:00.000-07:002007-09-29T18:15:00.000-07:00Hey Brian, thanks for coming by.Yeah, you know...I...Hey Brian, thanks for coming by.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, you know...I'm going to say, for one, in my mind the avoidance of repetition could be a good thing when sharing in the Communion experience. That's a good way to avoid going through the motions and coming out the other side with having not really given it a chance, appreciated anything or been encouraged much by it.Todd Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07460516882625598170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16662993.post-86105340918741507672007-09-27T18:07:00.000-07:002007-09-27T18:07:00.000-07:00>There's no way we can truly know one another's he...>There's no way we can truly know one another's hearts. A man's heart can only truly be known by God.<<BR/><BR/>Amen. I dont know why we so often forget this truth.<BR/><BR/>A roundtable and breaking into groups for communion would be good, but it seems our tradition within this blessed time of closeness has transcended the deepness of God's purpose here.<BR/><BR/>Good post brother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
