No, this rePost does not have anything to do with the theological validity of potlucks but one I posted last Friday that I believe is worth looking at again, as no one posted comments on it.... As I have been delving into creating an open source CMS and continually engaging in social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, and others I have begun to ask myself (and be asked by others) about the connective tissue between these and my previous stream of posts on story/storytelling (which I greatly appreciate Jason and Steve's comments upon). My intial observations are these we often tell our stories without even being aware of it, in ways we are no longer even conscious of through what we listen to, what we read, what we consume and how we publicize and encourage others to consume. recently, I found that my re-tweeting excerpts from morning and evening prayers from TheUrbanAbbey was inadvertently encouraging others to follow these prayers as well, adding a whole new dimension

Are these "thoughts" Sin? Are they the same thing or are they different?
My question is, "are we really ever separated from God?"
Why are we so set on believing that we are separated from God because of Sin. Perhaps we are not actually separated at all, but only we need to think that we are because life is not a paradise?
This sort of thing seems like it could rub people wrong, but why are we set on believing we are separated from God?
maybe what we believe to be separation maybe be self-imposed isolation from God.
these thoughts are not "sin" but the fact we have them might point to the state of sinfulness many believe we live in continually.
