Quoting the Wizard of Oz: “There is no place like home.” After a week on the road I made it home last night. My greeting committee attacked me with much love. I had a great trip. Time away with Jackie is one of my favorite things. We saw some incredible sights. Together we went to two of the big five national parks. I visited two others on my way home and one on the way to meeting Jackie.

On my own: Great Sand Dunes, Capitol Reef, and Arches. Together we saw Bryce Canyon and Zion. Two weeks ago, we went to Rocky Mountain NP, and we regularly drive through Badlands and Wind Cave.

But no matter where I roam, I love to come home. My bed is my bed. The dogs are always happy to see me. There is a comfort in being home. Following a trip, I like to have a day or two to decompress before hitting the ground running.

God speaks to me in the quiet time I have early in the morning. I know that God loves you and so do I.
