We like predictability. When we dial our Mom's phone number we expect to find our Mom. When we go to the corner of Talbot and John Streets we expect Shopper's Drug Mart to be there. When we go out to work we expect the plant, the factory, the school, the office, the barn, the boat, the store - to be there. But, for some of us, there is more to it than that.
Community shares the same Latin root with communion, communicate, common, and communicable.
We share each other's lives. We bear one another's burdens. We walk with each other through the dark times. We reach out to each other. We get involved.
