Blog and podcast recommendations
I discovered two great treasures today -- a podcast service by Family Life with daily or weekly podcasts that can be downloaded and listened to on my BlackBerry or iPod. The first two podcasts I listened to were great, I'll be doing more of this on my ride in to work.
The second discovery was from one of those podcasts, talking about "purposeful hospitality", inviting people over for dinner without worrying about getting everything perfect or having a spotless house. "Hospitality is not about you, it's about making other people feel warm and welcome" is one of the mottos of this paradigm. The show was a discussion with Sandy Caughlin, the author of the book and blog called "Reluctant Entertainer". Check out the blog for great hospitality and entertaining ideas!
Then stop by and let us practice our hospitality on you!

Good thing you have gloves on, Jordi. Some of those turtles can swing their heads around in a flash and take a chunk out of you! Have you identified the turtle?
Coincidentally, yesterday I spoke at the "chapel" in the Wycliffe office on "hospitality." I referred to the book "The Gift of the Stranger: Faith, Hospitality, and Foreign Language Learning." Not so much about having people over, but hospitality as a metaphor for all relationships: being a blessing as a stranger in other people's worlds, and receiving them welcomingly into ours.
