Sara is at the Winnipeg Folk festival and Nick and Beth are in Wisconsin to baby sit her sister, Janet's little boy, Nathan. Janet sometimes did that for us when our kids were little so its nice that Beth can return the favor. Nick, I'm sure is hoping to get some time in the lake that they live on. With all the peace and quiet at home I made some hospital visits in Brainerd and St Cloud and used the St Cloud trip as an excuse to drop off some things at Goodwill and then visit the Barnes and Nobles bookstore. I came home with a copy of Brian McLaren's new book The Secret Message of Jesus.
His chapter on the "Borders of the Kingdom" would make a good sermon base for the lesson coming up in a couple weeks on the Good Samaritan, since the whole parable is launched from the question of "Who is my neighbor?" the topic would reach into the area of inclusion and that's what this chapter is about.
