Vocational ministry for me has been the life of a vagabond, and as an interim minister I’ve been nothing short of itinerant. I wouldn’t trade a single experience away, but at this stage I long for a dwelling place where I can grow my roots and be at home. Thanks for the weaving a tapestry of many traditions where “home” is concerned. In the end, more than being Christian, I just want to be human. I long for others to be human as well. P.S. Gunilla Norris is one of my faves.

Years ago!!!!!! John Westerhoff speaking to a group of Christian Educators (Episcopal variety) speaking about home actually gave us an example of how going into a hotel room we often make it home by setting up the room and our bathroom much like our home even for a night before we relaxed. I have carried that with me and you have added to it so beautifully and deeply today. Our task is to make a dwelling place and to help others do so. As one news commentator said last night after the "briefing" held on yesterdays shooting, and I am partly paraphrasing here. "Don't put solution all on God. We are God's hands ." He was is right on and together especially with your posting this morning I have new insight to make this planet and my particular area more home. It is an ongoing loving , hard work task no matter where we live. Peace to all.
