I've been a fan of Frederick Buechner's sermons and writing for 35 years. However, only recently did I come across the following quote about "home." It is spoken by Leo Bebb, the title character in four of Buechner's novels.
Leo Bebb says, "We all got secrets. I got them same as everybody else -- things we feel bad about and wish hadn't ever happened. Hurtful things. Long ago things. We're all scared and lonesome, but most of the time we keep it hid. It's like every one of us has lost his way so bad we don't even know which way is home any more, only we're ashamed to ask. You know what would happen if we would own up we're lost and ask? Why, what would happen is we'd find that home is each other. We'd find out home is Jesus that loves us lost or found or any whichway."
