and if it is true intimacy, that 'dirt', that 'lacking', will be accepted with the rest of you...maybe that's why intimacy is something we all so deeply long for...to have someone know us so completely and fully that we have no need to hide where we are still growing, where will still have to confess our need for Someone greater...
...on another note...whenever i get to hang out with just eli richard, he inevitably asks where mom is and where dom is and before i even have a chance to answer he says, 'mommadom'. his way of saying mom is with dom. and then he says it a few more times; mommadom. mommadom. mommadom. and now you're saying it too...aren't you

haha, i will be saying mommadom all night now.
great stuff bro. thanks for the post.
I grew up in a family and, I felt, in a church where we just acted like everything was fine - all the time, no matter how much dirt and crap we walked through. It took a VERY long time for God to untrain me of those ways, and it is truly miraculously to see God's work in my heart and in my friendships. I really enjoy the intimate frienships that He has blessed me with - there's truly nothing like it in the world! It's such a gift, and one I missed out on for so long!
P.S. Mommadom.
It is no coincidence that intimacy takes time. I think that is why we keep to ourselves and think everyone else has issues without ever "knowing" that person. Isn't funny that we can even slip in and out of intimacy with those we love?
