What does welcoming others look like in your home? Kids' toys piled in the closet? Check. Dining room table set to perfection? Check. Scented candles lit and ready? Check. Entertaining the notion of entertaining is tough, in a 'hurried-up' world obsessed with image and presentation to impress people, instead of bless people. Could it be in our rush to entertain, we've sacrificed meaningful connection? Maybe there's a better welcome to be discovered. An authentic welcome, in a world that suffers from a poverty of relationships and hurting souls. A deeper welcome, that wholeheartedly mends the brokenhearted, including...you and me.

Where would the world be without great writing? It has been said that we have lost the gift of poetry but Dr. Esolen asserts:
"If song is for everyone, and poetry is the most exalted form of song, then poetry too is for everyone. But it must be musical. It must be what can enter the mind forever, and be gotten by heart, because like music it enters the deepest chambers of the human person. It moves us, when a chronicle of events or a philosophical discourse would leave us cold."
