Bubbles

Audience?!
Ok, so, bubbles. I hate them. Not the ones that fill bathtubs or that come in bottles with small rings. I love those. Even as a 19 year old sophomore in college, I am not above chasing bubbles. I'm talking about social bubbles. Little worlds people create to encourage false senses of community and identity. I HATE BUBBLES. What's even funnier is that people think these bubbles are enough to keep people out. As if the rest of the world can't see them. Doesn't know of them. But guess what the word "Bubble" implies. It's see through. Better yet, it's very penetrable. The whole world can see you and the whole world knows about you and is gaining information by the second. You are not in a fortress, you are not behind a wall. You are in a psychological created spherical film made of soap. Now, I get it. I get that it's nice to think that you belong to a special community. There's some security in knowing you belong to a group that the whole world doesn't have all 10 fingers in. I get that. But should the film of your bubble be so thick that you lose touch to those around you? That you completely  forget what it is to connect with people outside of your bubble? Or completely block people from being able to join your bubble? This is definitely not Christ like. Christ invites ALL people to become part of the Kingdom community. So, what's the alternative? Haven't gotten a metaphor for it yet. But the basic idea is to have something that allows others to come in, but protects what's inside as well. Protect your culture, but don't be so foolish as to think the world so ignorant. And SHARE your culture. Celebrate your culture your lifestyle with others. (Create a metaphor for the environment I'm talking about and you earn 50 cool points :D). Peace out!
