Yes, indeed, I am home. But as we all well know, just moving from one thing to the next. (Never mind that the next is quite amorphous at this time) I would like first to say that I will continue to use this blog page as long as AIM will let me, so don’t cancel your update alerts. While there is a lot going on, and I’m only beginning to process the last year, I do have a couple of things to share with you… 1) Our last video update!
Zion Update Guatemala from mshrauger on Vimeo.
2) I want to link a couple of recent blogs about coming home from Julie, Lauren, and Elizabeth. They are pretty funny, but also have some profound truths in them as well.
3) Jane, myself, and the rest of the Racers made it into the May newsletter of PorchdeSalomon. It’s in PDF format, but worth looking at.
So, with all of those vital updates out of the way, I must say that I love springtime in the South. It reeks havoc on my sinuses and all that jazz, but I just want to bottle that floral smell up and pour in into a forever long hot bath. That would have been an awesome welcome home. What a wonderful time to come home and experience all the nostalgia and sunshine. Market Street Festival was this weekend, so it was like Columbus threw me a big welcome back Kotter party and invited 20,000+ of my closest friends. I remember walking down the street on Saturday with my friends Adam and Liza, being positively overrun with people, and joking that it feels like I never left the crowded streets of wherever-ville, therefore easing my culture shock.
I’m not quite sure what the summer will hold for me, as I said before, but I am looking to stay connected with AIM to some degree or another. This is the ‘play it by ear’ portion of the program… just with my ear firmly planted to the leather-bound Good Book. I’ve got some traveling to do, some time to carve out to spend to myself, some more friends and family to meet up with and that sort of thing. So continued prayers for more grace and flexibility as I seek wisdom and vision. And again; thank you, thank you for all of the support.
