thanks for the expanded thoughts. i like the idea of opening store & all that. it's a bit more on the helpful side. though, i'd have to say that the whole sale metaphors are ultimately failures.. but that comes back to my struggle cause we still abide by them so often.

i think your keyword i'll hold onto is the 'natural' part of just being in relationship with people. i think it was pete rollins book "how not to speak of God" that he basically says if you have to think about it then you are not doing it out of love.. well, i don't know about that, you need to start somewhere to get going. but eventually, yes, people do good things because it is natural for them and they have a hard time understanding why others think its so special.
