Long Day of travel

We are now in North Carolina after a long day of travel. After living outside of the U.S. for 12 years I am going through a little reverse culture shock. It is not like we have been that cut off from U.S. culture but there are things that are very different up here. No one walks anywhere, the traffic lights do not blink before turning red, the Mexican food here is not spicy and the stores have so much stuff.

Today at the airport in Little Rock a group of soldiers got off the plane just returning from Iraq and everyone in the airport stood and began applauding the troops. One lady behind me began to cry and she did not know these men. I forgot how patriotic Americans can be, that is still true at least in Arkansas.

The soldiers returning home reminded me one day we are going to arrive to our home in heaven and if we are obedient to His call to service we will be greeted with a Great heavenly applause..
