Home can be...
an arcade, a theater, a museum, an office, a classroom,
a laundry, a restaurant, a garden canter or workshop,
a storage unit or hotel
or even a battleground.
Home can be all these things -- in part.
But none of these things are the essence of home.
Home is a place of shelter, safe and warm.
It's a growing place, a teaching institution, first church, and seminary.
Home is a hospitality center, a mission field.
It's a base for traditions and memories,
A place to return to with joy.
Home is a place where God lives.
This home -- your home -- is holy ground.
Take off your shoes
