The day the Spirit moved in
Commentary
Things change in a house when someone new moves in. Whether it might be the birth of a baby, the arrival of an exchange student, the advent of a foster child, or the coming of an elderly parent needing care, things change in the house when someone new moves in.
Some of the changes that come are anticipated and welcome. We look forward to the fun and lovely patterns of life that will come with the new arrival. Some other changes, however, are not anticipated -- perhaps not even expected -- and consequently those changes may not be welcome.
