Suitcase Living

I am mobile again. This time I have only two real housing stops although my travel to see folks will be considerable. I am getting used to this here today gone tomorrow lifestyle. I can't say I want it to continue forever, but It is good to spend time with folks that I want to see and need to see. Life at times is just too fast. Maybe I feel connected to too many people because the time is not sufficient to spend time with everyone. I know i will still need to make at least one more trip to Massachusetts after this one to even begin to find and end to my list. God is so good that my problem is too many people I love and who love me back. The church has created a community of friends that never ceases to amaze me with their love and care. I know how many people feel isolated in this world and lack the kind of community that I share with so many of you who read this. I think community is one of the greatest needs in our fractured world. Our lives draw us so many different directions at such a pace that extra time is often spent in collapse mode. But collapse mode often still leaves a lingering need. I think we realize the need most because when we were young and teenagers or in college the environment created something of a community of shared values. After those things are finished life sometimes strips away the connections that nurtured us and we begin to feel the void. I am so glad that the church became a place where I was able to fill this need and even more than fill this need. God has just been good to me. I am rushing because of lack of time on this found internet source. Catch you again when I find a signal tomorrow I hope.
