Bathroom Bonding

The two of us sat in the bathroom, on the edge of the giant jet bathtub, talking. I had seen her around campus and I knew her name because we were in the same class, but I didn't know her. I had never had a conversation with her, let alone shared a prayer time. Yet, here we were, talking about our struggles and our prayer needs, getting ready to approach God together.
"Unusual" is the word that comes to mind. Yes, an unusual opportunity. Now, by "unusual" I don't necessarily mean gradiose or wowing, for opportunities like these are actually quite meaningless if brushed under the rug with a shrug. Every once in awhile, though, life throws us one of these unusual opportunities. Whether it is meaningless or wowing is up to us.
The assignment had been to scatter around the house in pairs and pray for one another. For the two of us, it became more than an assignment, it became a bonding time.

Quote from New Way To Be Human

The ability to image God should never be overlooked. It serves as the foundation for human existence with four cornerstone-like aspects on which all our being and doing on earth are constructed. These are: (1) the ability to imagine and think; (2) the ability to create; (3) the ability to make moral and ethical choices and act on them (to be holy); and (4) the ability to act freely, to choose what kinds of persons we will become. In all these ways human beings are like God--and yet we are his creation and clearly not God.
