on the way
Just heard a story of the 1989 celebration of the October Revolution in Moscow, USSR. Someone gets into the parade, which has marching soldiers, and shiny missiles (pointed at USA), carrying a banner. They unrolled the banner which said “72 years going nowhere.”
Followers of Jesus are heading to an eternity of bringing glory to God in heaven and are on a journey of doing that now. This is where we are going.
Where are you going?
Live
“Live to be forgotten so that Christ may be remembered.”
– D. E. Hoste
(One of the Cambridge Seven who gave their lives to Christ in China from the late 19th century.)
Home
After about 4 hours in cars, two trains totalling about 3 hours, a night in a hotel and 14 hours in an airplane (with, hands down, THE BEST service in the sky – Korean Air) we are home. Thankful for so much: neighbors who looked after things, people who drove us places and picked us up, our awesome family in Korea. It was a great three weeks and I am reminded how much I love Korea.
Here’s how I look at a well timed trip: you’re sad to leave, but ready to go home.
I was sad to leave but am so glad to be home for a couple of days.

time?
I’ve always said time doesn’t exist, that it is a human construct of measurement and today, I’m gonna prove it! Because at 10:20 this morning our flight home is going to take off and we are going to be in the plane for 13 hours and 20 minutes but when we land in Washington, it will only be 10:40… 20 minutes later! See, I proved it. A minute on a clock is not more real than an inch on a ruler or a cm on a … oh whatever.
