I hope my life is good news
"Hospitality"
Shared life is a way of being present to another person so that another person can be present to you. It’s a quality of being, of living. A sharing attitude makes room inside of you so that others can crawl in and you can crawl out into them. You become touched and touchable, supporting and supportable. A Christian home is one with the doors open, and a Christian community of any form has doors open and swinging both ways. There’s life moving in and life moving out. I could summarize Jesus’ most radical teaching as a call to “universal table fellowship” (see with whom he eats, whom he invites to the banquet, and then you will know why they killed him!). Don’t tell people to come to our church or to come to hear Father preach. Ask them to come over for supper. That’s more real and natural. Talk to them over the back fence. We hope our life is good news. When out neighbors see our unity and our good news, maybe then they’ll say, I’d like to come celebrate and worship with you.

The Good News arrives when they are gone
I was walking away from the house that I used to go
But I kept walking into another house that's similar to this
Did I set me up for this?
Or was I set up by a grand design?
There will not be any explanation
to satisfy so just live and take it all in
Feast on what was set on the table
Kiss the Son if it still make sense at all
Dine with me even when we disagree
Dine with me because of shared humanity
