5/4/10 I heard a great sermon today from one of our younger clergy, Eric, who preached at our Austin District professionals meeting and worship service. He talked about the concept of home. He is trying to reach out with the gospel of Christ to young adults. One of his working definitions of who is a young adult is not about age, but about home. They have left their parents's house, but they have not year established their own home: career, committed relationship, a house. I know that our two sons certainly fall into this definition. They still are in transition.
The good news is that God makes a home with us. God won't be tied down. God camps out with us. Like the Ark of the Covenant traveling in a tent across the wilderness, like the Word made flesh in Jesus who literally "tents" with us , God makes a home wherever we are. God and the journey, not a place, is our home.
Love,
Lynn
