I've been reading the book for the past four weeks and I have lots to say. But every time I go to write, it just doesn't come out right. While at church, it struck me how to finally address what I have been thinking about.

What's banging around in my head is the idea of community. Instead of coming right out and saying what it should look like, I thought it was best to ponder the types of communities of which I have been apart over the years. Here are the top five:

5) Sophomore, Junior and Senior year of High School;

4) Summer 1995 to Summer 1996 at Portland Foursquare;

3) May, June and July 1998 in London;

2) Freshman year in the dorms; and

1) Sophomore year in the dorms.

For me, it comes down to a combination of quality of relationship and time spent together.
