Sometimes I am easily amused, like sitting in a coffee shop, reading T-shirts, while waiting on an appointment with a friend. On a recent day the back of a nearby t-shirt read, \u201cTogether is better,\u201d which was a good thought. Then I noticed a scripture reference underneath, Ecclesiastes 4:9, which reads, \u201cTwo are better than one.\u201d As I was able to pick up bits and pieces of the conversation, I realized that the one in the t-shirt was offering spiritual counsel with the other person at the table. It was so refreshing to see someone actually living what they were displaying on their t-shirt. Much better than the t-shirt I saw on another occasion, which read, \u201cI\u2019m only talking to my dog today\u201d as the person chatted continually with a friend. Or the t-shirt that read, \u201cI love New York\u201d worn by a person with a distinctly southern accent. A better t-shirt message might be the words of Helen Keller, who said, \u201cAlone we can do so little; together we can do so much.\u201d The best thing about togetherness for Christians, is expressed in the words of Jesus who said, \u201cFor where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them\u201d (Matthew 18:20). Together is better. Together with Jesus is best \u2013 whether worn on a t-shirt on not. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
