Well I made it back home without incident. It's a very long flight between the Philippines and the USA. I'm not sure how long it will take for my "internal clock" to adjust itself back to New Mexico time.
Regardless of the travel time, my experience in the Philippines was absolutely incredible. I feel very blessed by all of the people I met, the things I saw and the experiences I encountered. My only regret is not being able to stay longer. Now comes the task of analyzing all of the information and of course, staying in constant prayer throughout the process. I hope within a few days to have a preliminary "package" put together so that I have a starting point. From there, I intend on inviting a few people to look at my ideas and offer comments and suggestions.

I was reading more of Jon Acuff's book
Quitter while on the flight home. It's been interesting to see how his writings have paralleled my experiences and thoughts about mission work in the Philippines. I will add more about that in a later post -- at the moment, my mind and body are trying to figure out whether I'm supposed to be awake or asleep, and that seems to be interfering with my creative writing "juices". It is 6 am here (9 pm in the Philippines). I'd go back to bed, but I need to leave for church in just two hours, and so I will force myself to stay awake a while longer. An afternoon nap will be a sure bet!
