The Trip Isn't Over

By Jason

I'll admit it was hard to say goodbye to Ghana when we left our hotel the last day there to head to the airport. Especially considering the out of the way place Manny found for us to stay.

However it was a great joy to see everyone who came to welcome us home from the airport when we arrived back in Lexington. I wish I'd had my camera ready to snap a photo of Jan Colbert as I came down the escalator. She was standing right at the bottom and started jumping up and down like an excited kid seeing a long lost relative when she saw us. Somebody snapped this pic just after that moment.

We've been home for just over a week and I'm sure all of us are still processing everything we were a part of in Ghana. We've also been resting and trying to get back into the swing of things. You may have noticed a slight decrease in the number of posts to the blog. Don't let that fool you. The trip isn't over yet! In the coming weeks (and months) we'll continue to post to the blog. We'll be writing about our thoughts and feelings now that we are back and have had time to process. The five of us that went will be meeting to discuss everything we did and we'll post a little about that too I'm sure. We will also be inviting everyone to a church-wide gathering in the near future where we'll tell stories, share some pictures, and open the floor for questions about what we experienced. After that, who knows...this blog doesn't have to end; the trip we embarked on this month could really just be the first of many where more of you will have the opportunity to go and be Christ's witnesses "in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

So stay tuned for more updates! If you don't want to have to check back every day wondering if we've posted a new update you can register your email address in the box on the right side of the blog where it says "follow by email".  If you do that you'll receive an automatic email every time we update the blog which will let you know there is something new out there to read.

Until next time let us remain Knit Together by Love!
