Real. Life.

I asked a man at church Sunday "How are you doing?" I probably asked 20 people that same question. Most people say, "I'm doing good". This one was different...he actually told me. There was some junk going on. He told me about it and then said in an apologetic tone, "That's probably more than you wanted to know". It wasn't more than I wanted to know...but to be honest it was more than I expected. It was refreshing to see someone take off their church costume and just be...honest. It's impossible to build real community without it. I'm thankful that he felt comfortable enough to share with me. I'm ashamed that I didn't expect it.
