人際互動充滿在我們現今的生活中，因為我們在世不是獨居的。但在與人相處的事上，又常常會有許多的衝突、張力，讓我們感到不開心，甚或覺得被傷害。到底我們與人的互動發生了什麼問題，難道都是別人的錯嗎？

    After living in Taiwan for four years, I am starting to have reverse culture shock coming back to the USA.  One of the things that has been startling to me is how big everything is, particularly the stores, the houses and the churches.  For example, the church that I attend on Sunday, Grace Community Church, is a large two-story auditorium backlit by a huge window and a giant cross.  The stage itself is so large that even with the whole worship team onstage, it still seems empty.  To get to my children’s Sunday school classes, I have to wind through hallway after hallway, past other large auditoriums and various classrooms filled with youth, kids, and teachers.

    隨著9/22（日）青少年即將「開箱」新堂，建堂的工程小組委員們也緊鑼密鼓地在各樣搬遷、拆除、工地完善、廠商間的協調與處理彼此情緒的過程中忙碌著。有一天，一位同工說到他們家也在裝潢，光是工班遲了幾天一直沒有進來施工，他就非常焦急，還要去拜託師傅；他又說，我們蓋了四年，光想像就覺得真的很不容易。當下，我很被安慰到。在大環境缺工缺料不容易，加上我們起初為了壓低預算而採取分包的發包方式，以現在來看，為教會省下了將近千萬的工程管理費用，但是各包商介面的整合、細節問題也衍伸而出；同工們也必須花費許多心力必須去協調處理。
