It's late at night, when anyone sensible would be asleep...but I lost touch with sensibility a long time ago. I just finished packing a 48 pound duffel bag of clothes and such to be checked, another 48 pound suitcase full of books and food for my carry on, and a backpack with a computer, a couple cameras, and sunglasses. I'm packed to fly out early tomorrow morning, to Canada where I'll do class, briefings, and pack to fly south to Guatemala on Friday. I'm desperately in need of sleep, but it's not really wanting to come by right now.
My mind is a whirlwind of disjointed emotions, eclectic memos to myself, and the occasional deep thought. Leaving people I haven't seen much lately, returning to people I've been missing, and then realizing how long it may be before I see others again. Remember as I type this that I forgot to pack my toothpaste...and then remember a bunch of miniature tubes that my dentist has given me just for travelling. Oh yeah, and as I was passionately describing to my friend the key principle from the "Early Church" that we need to apply better today in the North American body of Christ is the concept of building honest caring relationships with other members and really loving our neighbors.
Yeah, that's good enough...'night ya'll.
