“I live in my own little world. But it’s ok, they know me here.” — Lauren Myracle Home. A person’s house or abode, the place where a person lives or was raised, native country, homeland. Does it call us with its siren song or warn us away like the sirens of an alarm?
 

“For the two of us, home isn’t a place. It is a person.” ― Stephanie Perkins Oh baby baby it’s a wild world. And there, in the midst of the wildness, sits home, waiting. What is this Sunday’s message? Home.
