The Christian fellowship expressed by all of you sends us off with a sensation of being loved and cared for. The last of our things are finding their way into the nooks and crannies of our duffle bags and we are all breathing those shallow breaths that come with the excitement of such a big trip. Saying goodbye - even just temporarily - always conjures that feeling of loss or the hint of loss - knowing that things don't stay the same, and that no one really knows what the future holds. Our daily routine - that cocoon of control, predictability, and safety - is in for a major interruption, and I suppose we will all panic a little bit until we remind ourselves that it was never us who kepts things in order, rather it was our Lord and there is no reason to stop trusting now.
