Hello my fellow blog readers.
I arrived in South Africa last night and I am currently “couch surfing” for the next week until my roommates arrive home.
18 hours is a long flight. I tried to shut off my brain, but it was really hard when all I could think about is Lighthouse Church and seeing everyone in a matter of hours. I made a couple of observations while I was trying to sleep:
1. Not only have I been to more countries than most people I know, but I’ve been on more planes than most people my age. I have been on 13 planes in 2009 alone! And we are only half way through the year. Crazy, huh??
2. You know how airlines make sure that you know smoking is illegal on board? They even tell you it’s a federal offense to tamper with smoke detectors, right? Well I noticed something in the bathroom. There is a big sign on the wall with a picture of a cigarette and a big red “X” through it. About 10 inches from that is an ash tray!!! With a picture of a cigarette on it! How funny…
Anyway, not sure what the next week holds for me. Cell group is tonight, so I’ll see most of the older kids, and then I get to see everyone else on Saturday night, and then my church family on Sunday night! I am so blessed to be here. How the heck did I even get here?!
Love is never ending.
