Be a part of something greater

As humans we were designed to part of something greater than ourselves. We developed from tribal and nomadic peoples. We were meant to be part of a community.

It’s no wonder why people who are not part of a community feel alone. I felt like this before. I felt alone even though I had my family and my neighbors. I felt like I was missing something. I felt like there was something greater calling me to do more.

I joined the Men’s Club at the parochial school my eldest goes to. This club helps the church by doing deeds and works for the church. There is a solid group of guys who volunteer and provide a service to the church.

It’s this sense of community that I was after. I had a community similar while in my late teens and early twenties. It’s now that I crave a community to not only better myself but my community.

I hope all people find a community. We were designed to be a part of one. To belong. It doesn’t have to be a church or faith based. It could location, professional, or interest based. To be a part of something and to make friends and allies helps make a life worth living.

When we sit idle, we start to drift. When we aren’t part of anything we become alone. It’s this drifting that leads to complacency and issues. We need to be active and put our energy into productive times. By being active there is no time to sit and scroll or watch TV. We will too busy to even think about it.

If you want to be part of a community let me know. I can help you find one in your area.
