Home at last. Two weeks on the road is enough to make you appreciate home more than ever. As an introvert, a road trip can be torture if someone else is with you. There is no place to hide. The female questions keep coming and sometimes an answer is expected. How did I feel about the trip? How do you summarize the variety of feelings emerging over two weeks?
Two weeks on the road help to remind me of what a great country we have both in size and in quality. At one point we had a three hour drive and most of the way we saw no evidence of humanity except for fences and an occasional cell tower and of course the road. We saw little box houses next to spreading ranch style homes. Macho hot dogs would try to run us down and the next minute someone is totally polite. In short periods of time you can go from arid flatland to hilly forests. In the middle of the sage you come across irrigation systems that hover over lush fields.
The fools that worried about over population need to get out more and drive from central Texas to central Wyoming. Of course such people might not notice that most of it is empty. Those who worry about the world starving would hopefully notice that the lack of food is political, not potential. Water can make the desolate productive.
All that said, it is good to be home at last.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
