I have lived in Mississippi, Virginia, Maryland, Arizona, Hawaii, New York,
and in Dryden, Moravia, Fayetteville, Cortland, just to name a few of the places I have resided over the course of my life.
Tonight I am reminded of my absolute true home. The one place where I have always felt comfort, belonging, love, meaning, challenge, peace.
It's hard to put the right words on it. It is not exactly a place, but many places. It is not exactly many people, but one people. It's not exactly one idea, but one Lord.
The Heart of God.
Church. The Word of God. Worship.
Old familiar hymns.
Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God. Amazing Grace.
Jesus Christ.
I think it would be a good time to make a pilgrimage to Hawaii or Arizona. Many of us New Yorkers would come with you. But we are glad you live here with us, both in the church and having your home in Cortland.
