HOME

I'm still in Baltimore... but tomorrow I get to go home. Yes, the training has been great. But 10 days away (after having been home for only one week after 11 days away) is enough traveling! I want to go home.

As I write that, I'm reminded of my grandmother in the last few weeks of her life. She told me that she "wanted to go home"... but she wasn't talking about an earthly address. She was talking about heaven. She was yearning for heaven, like I'm yearning for home.

Home to Minnesota... to people who love me, a place that "fits" me, and to the purposes God has for me.

Home to heaven.... to people who love you, a God who loves you, a place that's been prepared for you, and the purposes God has for you (yes, I believe that God has things for us to do in heaven!).

Keep yearning....
