Two hours and a wakeup.
That's how my newfound friend, Josh Motes, describes it, harking back to his military days. At the end of a year-long tour of duty, he and his brothers-in-arms would count down to their return using this phrase, e.g. "two months and a wakeup." Two months and you're home, and everything feels like a dream.
At this moment, I'm sitting on the plane as Jess takes a nap on my shoulder, and I'm roughly two hours out from my wakeup back at our house. Our dog, our bed, our food, our routine, our safety and comfort. All good things. All familiar. In total honesty, however, all these things will have a subtly altered tint now. At least, I hope they do.
Over the next several days, as time permits, I'll add pictures and information on different "subjects" of our trip. I'll be breaking down my ideas of what our future with Uganda holds, but largely figuring it out as I go along. We'll be praying for direction from God on how to prepare for our next trip, and how to help the people we've met. Be praying for guidance for us.
