Nobody is a whole chain. Each one is a link. But take away one link and the chain is broken. Nobody is a whole team. Each one is a player. But take away one player and the game is forfeited……..you guessed it. We need each other. Isolated islands we are not. To make this thing called life work, we gotta lean and support. And relate and respond. And give and take. And confess and forgive.  And reach out and embrace. And release and rely. Especially in God’s family….where working together is plan A for survival. And since we are so different, love and acceptance are not optional luxuries. Neither is tolerance. Or understanding. Or patience. You know all those things you need from others when your humanity crowds out your divinity. In other words, “be devoted to one another in brotherly love” (Romans 12:10)….
