Home safely.  Yet where is our home? 

God saved my life in south India just two weeks ago.  Now I'm back recovering in clean, quiet Stillwater Oklahoma where tap water is potable, mosquitos don't carry ten forms of death, and sewage is whisked away underground and out of sight.  There are no garbage heaps along the streets with pigs, chickens and ragged children looking through it for something to eat.  We Americans think Stillwater is the norm.  It isn't. 

Most of the world struggles every day for a meal and prays for a safe, dry place to sleep.  While we worry about mowing our perfect lawns, most people have a patch of dirt to eat, sleep and live on.  The water we flush down our drains is cleaner than what most children of the world drink. 

Isn't our home in the center of our Father's heart?  When Jesus said "I come to preach the Gospel to the poor..." isn't that where we should be?  I dare you to listen clearly to Jesus' call:  Leave your comfort, come, and follow Me.  He will take you to places that seem uncomfortable from afar, places you dread to go, but when you actually get there, God is already there--and you are HOME.
