  Covenant Communities


I have been pondering Covenant Communities so much in the last six months my head is about to burst. Although I did not get to see it in action while at the Highlands Study Center Conference, I am aware of the loving community that exists there through an earlier visit, and from the throngs of people who have now decided that is where they want to live. While Virginia is the state in which I want to someday live, Bristol is not the reason why.

Chad Degenhart is one who is much more adept at pondering and writing about the situation of the covenant community. He has a fine post that asks some good questions and provides some links to discussion on the subject.

It can all be quite vexing to someone living in the middle of discontent-suburbia, who is contemplating changing the course of life for his family and the generations to come, but hey, that's part of the job description!

Glad I'm not the only one who's "head is about to burst" from pondering covenant communities to much!

My Thoughts on Prayer
Our Father which art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts
