[pls refer to jon's post at the bottom before reading mine]
in response to jon's post, i've been feeling like tt alot [last time -.-] as well. and i know what he means when both is just too much and doing just either one feels like smtg's missing. in a way, joan's right in saying we all have to learn to rely on each other.
i was sharing my situation with gen [from st. anne's]. it was like a good half a year before, tt i told her i didnt feel like i was gaining anything from log. tt was when sessions were stagnant. of cos all tt has changed with fr. brian's arrival, and the lent/easter programme which i wasnt there for much of the time, worked out and im glad it did. anyways, during tt sharing, she made me realise i was expecting too much. afterall, i did come from youthworks where i was accustomed to not doing sessions but yet received spiritual growth week after week.
she suggested tt i went for amplify. tt way, i can get input and yet still serve in log by doing sessions for yall. i didnt have to serve amplify cuz the pple who does amplify sessions get their inputs from somewhere else.
if we actually drew a mind-map, it shldnt be looking like a life cycle, only linking pple from our own community, tt is log. it shld criss-cross all ard every parish and every community we know. tt's because all the other pple are god's pple as well. and we not only rely on log, but on these pple as well.
eg. anne still belongs to log but she has offered to serve as a cathechist
so in tt way jon, u can do tt too! dont feel so paisei tt u nv contribute to log cuz u contribute back to the church in other ways! and to everyone who has ever belonged to a church community, we shld learn not to be too calculative. WWJD!!
hokay. camp is coming really fast. gotta go chiong stuff now. toodles.
loves many many
