Name Change?

By
So far I know at least two people have viewed this blog. I was thinking about a comment one of you made and wondering if the name of this blog should be changed. In the title "When have I seen you?" I was considering that to be the question God might ask of me (and of everyone) in light of Matthew 25:30-42. My concern is that others may think I am talking about myself as the person asking the question of others. So, what's your reaction to the title? Please comment. Maybe a better title is "When did we see you?" meaning, when did we see God in the face of the untouchables or the unloved. And how have we been recipients of grace while seeking to respond to the "others" in our world? I guess I could also add a "preamble" like the one found on the recovering Christians blog, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. If there are any random souls who see this, I'd love some input.
Grace and Peace,
Zach

I called Leigh. Truth be told, I was calling in response to her expression of care for my needs with my upcoming move, and it dawned on me that I was at

Kanye West

So, did anyone out there see Kanye West rip on the President on live TV? What do you think? Is it a racial issue that help has been slow? Was Kanye anywhere near reality? Before you answer, be sure to look at this link too: http://www.wonkette.com/politics/ap/index.php

What Makes A House A Home?

By
2 Samuel 7:1-11, 16 • Luke 1:46b-55 If you are struggling with the idea of whether to say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, especially during Advent, I’ve got a new one for you. What about Merry Almost Christmas? That is the title and the chorus of a song written by a friend of mine. It’s a song about the blessing of the time before Christmas, the time that we in the church call Advent (which doesn’t quite have the same ring to it), and it’s a song about celebrations, reunions, and homecomings. Of course, the classic of that genre is “No Place Like Home for the Holidays.” Admittedly that one has been a little tender for me this year with my household divided as it is geographically. Having my family here today reminds me that home truly is where the heart is. It does make me wonder though, what makes a house a home? With a quick search of the question, I found a survey of homeowners in the UK from 2018 which showed that about a third of those that responded think of the place they
