"...that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ."
I have found true fellowship in recovery from addiction and alcoholism, and now more recently through CrossFit. I believe the verbal or non-verbal profession of our weaknesses and vulnerabilities, and our desire to "feel alive" and grow stronger together, manifests a strong fellowship. I cannot hide my weaknesses any more at the box than I can hide my sin, shortcomings, and charachter defects with my fellow recovering addicts and alcoholics ... Sometimes it's a subtle "confession", yet way more than enough for our good and gracious God to shine His light upon.
