Some of you think that we are crazy. That we are away from home entirely too much. "How do you do it?" is one question we are asked a lot. Well… sometimes it does get wearisome but… most times it’s OK. We don’t mind it, cause we know we are coming home, and there is a bunch of great stuff to do out here while we’re gone. And a bunch of great people to do it with.
Today, I had a brief but intense longing for home. No, not our awesome yellow house in Palmyra… our real home. We were getting ready to start our 1-hour play-worship in our made-from-dirt play house we call a church… and I just thought of how incomparable this is to home. One day we will all be together in the actual presence of God. We will all be without blemish, without faults, without failings… We will be complete. As we were meant to be.
No more failings… no more reminders of them. No more hurt. No more longing. We will be home. No longer travelers.
No more squabbles over music style. No more programs. No more buildings. No more potlucks (well, maybe we’ll keep those…)
Just Jesus. Us, and Jesus.
For a moment, I had a glimpse of that. And I longed for that.
Soon enough. Until then, we travel.
