Time Heals All Wounds/ Love Covers a Multitude of Sins

Questions on wed. services seem to be getting bolder than they used to be. I know it could just be me, after 3 yrs., finally noticing our questions as bold. I really don’t think so, however. The first thought that pops in my head (yes, I’ve been warned about those) is that time has made us bolder. Familiarity may breed contempt, but it can also breed contentment. Over time our trust has been earned enough to give us the confidence to speak not just less & less fearlessly, but more & more candidly. Perhaps so many of us have changed for the better that we trust ourselves more as well as trust others more.
A less intense version of this has already been going on before I ever came along. It is part of the appeal of this particular body of Christ. This has been mentioned to me more than once. I’ve obviously experienced & am experiencing it myself. Yet, I do believe we are starting to bare more & more to one another during actual worship time.
Maybe some of this can be attributed to the fact that there are less new faces on wed. services than sun. & thus such familiarity is stronger because we know the people in the room better, because we’ve been around each other more. Though some would see this as scary, it’s encouraging. Caution has its value & I’m not suggesting we throw it to the wind. I’m just happy that there is an example of trust from which to draw. I thought I’d let everyone know that it seems that in a loving enough environment, blocks that hold us back can be dissolved. Again, I am not suggesting we throw caution to the wind. I’m also in no way trying to discourage new faces on wed. nights (their seeing this would encourage them???). I’m just applauding what is happening.
