When I was growing up we had a weekly tradition that we called "Closure". It would take place on sunday and sort of finish off the week. What is closure? well, all 11 of us (a blended family) would gather in the living room after dinner on sunday. One by one each person was encuraged to share something they learned either that day in church, sometime over the last week, or even just their lifetime. Only if you wanted to. Once you were done, sharing would be passed to the next person. This was not a time to correct, debate, or lecture. It was simply a time to share what you had learned. Some times they were very brief, even one word. Partly because with that many teenagers you should know at least a few want to hurry up and get on with it, and also because thats just how some did it. Others would share longer thoughts.




I would like this to be a place where Closure can take place. Please share Something you have learned. If you are not an auther on the blog, but wish to share, just post what you have learned as a comment on my last post.

This is just a friendly reminder to all who read and post here. This is not a Forum for discussion, a place for debate, advice or even a place to teach. If teaching takes place it is my hope that it would be because the reader seeks it personally. This is a place to simply share. I realize many have different views, beliefs and faith, and I want everyone to feel they can post here and not worry about having to defend or explain themselves. Appropriate comments on others posts would be along the lines of "thank you for sharing", "good luck" or "if you want to discuss that more contact me personally."
