the border

as i continue to settle in, i find myself meeting new people, catching up with old friends and learning more about the community in which i live. today i learned that in katy, the katy freeway (i-10) is like "the tracks" in a small town. and you know what that means...someone always lives on the "wrong side." well, guess which side my residence and the church i am going to serve reside on? who decides this stuff? it was a reminder of how defining borders really are and that they are man-made. another sign of our fallen nature. i pray that my loving is never defined by any border.
