Some friends of mine and yours truly and answering some questions this week. If you are reading this then feel free to blog on this same question and let me know so I can read it. This is a question i got from a cheesy youth ministry book and I asked my volunteers in front of the high school students and I have not stopped thinking about the answer yet. Here is the questions...
Where do you feel closest to God?
This is a big question but I choose to answer in a general sense. On a general level I feel closest to God when I experience great community. What i mean by that is that I feel like God is nearest to me when I am doing life with people in a genuine honest way. When I can be real with my friends and when they are being real with me. That is community.
I remember a specific moment when I was with a group of friends and we were all hanging at my house after a Wilco concert at the old mill. We ordered chinese food and sat around my table talking. I had 3 sets of friends from 3 periods of my life. it was just a cool moment when I was able to experience community with so many areas of my life.
That was just one of many times but in a nut shell I feel closest to God when I can have true fellow.
