The empty chair at the table
“A friend told me to leave one chair empty at dinner and treat it as Christ's seat. I felt silly for about a week. Then I noticed I was speaking differently at that table, less sharp and more patient, because I had stopped imagining God as far off and started acting like He was in the room.”
