Dropping in

Amos 3:1-11

It is verse 3 that seemed important this morning. When did I last drop by to see a friend making an arrangement a few days in advance or without telephoning first. Quite a while ago. What is worse I do not think anybody has come to my door to say hello since we left Texas, and dropping in is certainly not a Texas habit. Leah Taylor sometimes came with a message and stopped for a chat.
Are we so wound up in our own lives that we have no time for anybody on the outside?  Hospitality is something which I need to practice. I miss my friends. I hope they miss me too.
