Home Sweet Home


It is amazing to be sitting in my chair (at 2:16am) and have visions of glorious vistas swimming in my head from my time on Maui.

We departed Maui at 7:30pm (Maui Time...1:30am our time) yesterday evening (July 3rd) and our family pulled into the driveway tonight at 11:30pm (or 5:30pm Maui time...July 4th). 22 Hours of travelling with four small children. But you would be amazed at how well they handled the stress of time zone changes and constant hunger. And remember Northwest Airlines, which has just emerged from bankruptcy has a no frills service which means a Pepsi is the only thing you get on board. We also had no in flight entertainment....system was broken. I don't think I have played that many games of "WAR" and "go fish" in my life.

We are home. The children are having trouble sleeping. So am I. But we are here. Safe. Surrounded by our stuff...even if moved around a bit.

To all of the folks in Maui, thanks for your welcome to us and the glorious worship we shared. I will never forget Edie's and Willie's funerals nor will I forget Ellen's smile and Paul's wonderful music and wonderful heart. Hope you are able to do something special to welcome Rik and Heather back after their big adventure.

Perhaps this is the time to end this blog and perhaps start another one...another day. Thanks for taking this adventure with us through this blog. In the words Judy Garland...."There's no place like home!".....just wish I could have clicked my heels to get here!
