i'm sitting here in a large overstuffed leather chair at my parent's house. yup - those are my feet being cozily warmed by a nice fire. katie and the baby have gone to bed and i'm working on a writing project i've been working on for the last couple of months. i've just been reminded this evening how good it is to always come home to mom and dad. don't get me wrong - i love my "own" family - katie and maria (and of course, the goose) but there is something truly special about coming home to the house you grew up in. so many good memories here. it tends to inspire me to write or read or study so i'm really enjoying being here tonight. tomorrow is an all-day staff meeting and back to ministry at pequea. we had good flights from Oklahoma (first to Kansas City, then to Chicago, then finally to Baltimore).
