I wonder

I wonder if they remember anything about anything that happened before, I don't know, a year ago? I wondered this as I listened to some friends have nothing nice to say about some other friends of mine. These friends were also former friends of one another, but now the rift has become larger than life. I mean, the lives of each were touched in a massive way by the other. They were responsible for helping one another get to new heights in their Christian walks. They were each closer to Jesus for having walked along the same path for a while and yet, now, after what seems like a petty disagreement over a bit of different theology, they don't speak to one another.

Not only is it not speaking to one another, but each party now has negative things to spread about the other. That sucks! I hate it. I don't want to hear it.

Where does that come from? We talked about spiritual amnesia the other night in our small group, about how we forget about this huge God we serve and somehow leave Him out of our thoughts. I think that we have relational amnesia too. Little things wedge between us and cause a bit of separation...how far does it go? how far should it go? what's that going to look like in heaven?
