The Burden of the Day

We are in relationship with the church in the long haul. Indeed, we might argue that the only way we can make it for the long haul is together. This saying sums it up: “If you want to fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together.” We are in community as we journey, especially for the long haul.
