There’s Room at My Table for You, Part 2

God did not save you to sanitize you and put you on the shelf. He saved you to send you into service.

Practicing radically ordinary hospitality necessitates building margin time into the day, time with regular routines, where it can be disrupted, but not destroyed. The mission is too important to make hospitality primarily about what others think about your housekeeping skills. [... more]
