Sometimes the most prophetic and hopeful thing a community can do is become a place where people who might otherwise avoid one another learn each other’s names and stories.

When its all said and done, some of the most important and impactful people in your life will be people you haven't met yet.
Belonging somewhere for a long time can make us forget what it felt like not to belong. Hospitality often begins with remembering. If there is a place where you currently feel you belong, who helped you feel that way? What did they do?

Annie Dillard died this week. I kept telling people and hearing, “I don’t know who that is.” So I wrote for the people who don’t know her yet via @baptistnews.com 🙏 baptistnews.com/article/let-... #anniedillard
