sequel?

It's kind of funny when you come home after...well really almost a year (i've been home two or three other weekends but not for that long) and it's kind of surprising how much has changed and to see the changes in yourself, it's kind of like a continuation of a t.v. show that you haven't watched in a few seasons where everything changes...or maybe little things change. examples: (they may not even seem significant but still) we have a new secretary at church, it reminded me of the time on family matters where they obviously replaced the actress who played harriet but acted like nothing happened, also just the way I have interacted with people so far I mean i haven't done that much....but i dono people seem to treat me differntly? in a good way...that's all I can think of I ran out of thoughts...That's all there is, there isn't anymore.

Is the grass really greener?

I am a very fickle person, or at least I am if that word means what I think it means....but what I mean is right now I have a strong desire to leave the country (not related to anything about the most recent election) but I think it is really awesome to get outside of my comfort zone (my however many square mile comfort zone) and get an outside perspective on things going on locally and even a fresh perspective on the global church. It's tough because I don't really know a second language (I claim Spanish but no lo comprendo mucho). I say these things because I am wondering if there is such a place that is "perfect to live". I mean if I got out of the country to where I really want to be would I be happy? I mean could I be content for a lifetime in a country different than that which I grew up in? I really want to say yes. Not that i'm unpatriotic, but that I really want to say that I can be happy regardless of where I live, United States included. Every country has it's corruptions, and there is not one "perfect kingdom" except the Kingdom of God.
