10 Things About Home

Life usually doesn't fit into nice neat little lists, but that doesn't keep me from trying.  Welcome to 10 Tuesday where I try to fit the messiness of life into a list of ten.

This is my short list of ten thoughts about home.  For those of you participating in Campus Church this semester, these are some things you will most likely hear a lot more about in the coming weeks.

1. Home is where you're protected.
2. Home is where you're loved.
3. Home is where you trust.
4. Home is where you're fed.
5. Home is where you're made.
6. Home is where you get clean. (hopefully)
7. Home is where you rest.
8. Home is where you are familiar.
9. Home is where you can ask important questions.
10. Home is where no one is cool.

Life usually doesn't fit into nice neat little lists, but that doesn't keep me from trying.  Welcome to 10 Tuesday where I try to fit the messiness of life into a list of ten.

6. Join a campus organization. I can point you to a great one!
7. Develop deep relationships with a small number of people.
