I landed safely and on time back in Bangkok last night. I was very happy to see my friends Ahjan Vee and Big C (See post from 1/23/09) there to welcome me back and drive me home.
I was really looking forward to seeing my bed, but see it I could not because my power had been disconnected! Turns out I missed my electric bill deadline by a day. Luckily the doorman was able to round up one of the utility guys to flip my power back on just in time for an air conditioned and deeply satisfying rest. (I don't sleep on planes for those who don't know)
I had a wonderful time back home getting to see almost all of my family and many of my friends. I was very encouraged by how many of you said you are reading this blog and praying for me. THANK YOU!
Some of the things I did while I was home: drove a car, ate a steak, caught a fish, saw a braves game, saw the stars (in the sky not in Dallas), ate a Krystal, played darts, listened to country, watched cable, worshiped in English, and made a few pars.
It was a fun and refreshing time, and I am grateful to God that everything went smoothly with travels and with my transition from PIONEERS to being an independent missionary. Thus begins the second chapter of my life and work in Thailand. In the next post I will offer some possibilities about what I may be doing with myself in the coming months. But for now I am exhausted. My body has been telling me to go to sleep since 2pm and I made it this long!
good night
