One week from
today at approximately 4:38 (1638 for you military persons) Josiah and I will
be leaving solid ground on one continent and, hopefully, finding it some 36 hours
later in another. Of course, this is
subjective to Airline Standard Time which is plus/minus “some time” to maybe never
:0) Oh well, we know the One Who came up
with time!
These last
couple of days with all the packing, I have been reminded of another nomad who
did a lot of packing and repacking. I
have been thinking about a wanderer who had little to show for his trust except
promises of great things to come. Abraham. How fitting he should be referenced in the
hall of fame as one who sought a homeland.
The same homeland we also seek.
But we have seen
many of these promises fulfilled and we stand in the midst of a great company
who has gone before us. Someday I am
hoping to say without doubt, “I go to my fathers in whose great company I shall
not now be ashamed.”
