When I served as a pastor in Pomeroy, a small town of about 500 in Iowa, what fascinated me most is what they had in their news paper. They had news about who invited who for supper and what they served. At first I used to think is this news worthy?!! But now in the midst of bad news of gun violence, government shut down, wars, sickness and death I long for those simple news of people inviting people for a meal. Maybe that is what it would be like in the Kingdom of God. In the Kingdom of God not violence nor war nor corruption will occupy the headlines, but simple news, news of people inviting people and serving!
