Today's reading in Acts sounds...
Today's reading in Acts sounds like a wonderful dream, and at the same time it sounds like what was once America's worst fear: communism. Living in harmony, none poor or rich, all in equality -- living in communion with one another. We share communion with one another Sunday mornings. Why wouldn't it work to live in communion, as well? It's a beautiful dream, but not all dreams translate well in reality. We could begin a commune together, but would that further God's plan for us? We can shut ourselves away from the world to live in harmony, but the rest of the world doesn't go away.
