Relationally Challenged Yet?


It’s been a few weeks since I have “reflected” on the weekend teaching, sorry for my absence.

One thing that has been challenging about this series is that every week we are missing a group of people: dating/married/single/older/younger/ etc. What has surprised me though, is how personally challenged I (and I think everyone else) have been anyway, even when it isn’t directed at me.

Our lives touch and intersect all the time. We really don’t live in a vacuum. It’s really not God’s intention that we do. Every week I am taught in a very direct or indirect way something about myself. I am also given pause for reflection of other people’s relational situations.

If anyone wants to share their direct or indirect learning, feel free.

I want to include a book that I wanted to share the week I taught on dating. It’s simply called “Boundaries in Dating.” I think it will be helpful if that is your world right now. I also want to say that it is in a series of “Boundaries” books that touch just about everyone’s life. They have Boundaries in Marriage, Boundaries with Your Kids, they even have Boundaries with Pets. Just kidding about that one, I think it’s coming out next year.

Seriously, if you have a relational issue you might want to check out one of the corresponding boundary books, or anything by the authors Cloud and Townsend.

I’ll blog at you next week. I promise.

Definite Kudos on the Boundaries books--they are great as are most of the stuff that Cloud and Townsend offer.
