"Travel Lightly in Peace"
Luke 10:4-7
Jesus' direction to stay in one house avoided certain problems. Shifting from house to house could offend the families who first took them in. Some families might begin to compete for the disciples' presence, and some might think they weren't good enough to hear their message. If the disciples appeared not to appreciate the hospitality offered them, the town might not accept Jesus when He followed them there. In addition, by staying in one place, the disciples did not have to worry continually about getting good accommodations. They could settle down and do their appointed task.

BLACK HISTORY TRIVIA:
DeShawna Davis and Tyrone Walston have turned the Black History Trivia challenge into their own personal battleground. DeShawna was the winner yesterday by knowing that Dr. King would have needed home owner's insurance because his house was bombed. Will anyone challenge the intellectual prowess of these two juggernauts? :) Here is today's question: he is known for breaking the color barrier in major league baseball and he was born on this day in 1919. Who was he? (This is an excellent chance for somebody to get on the board as this question is toooooooo easy.)
