Homeward Bound

---

Never have I longed more for the feel of my children's arms about my neck.

Never have I craved more the comfort of my own home, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and smells.

Never have I desired more a simple slice of pizza fit for an Italian, a cup of tea fit for an Englishman, and a cheesburger fit for an American.

For Adventure and Danger are sweet,
And against them we may test our mettle;
But the wine by the fireside is sweeter,
And knowing one's place.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this blog as much as I have enjoyed writing it. May Jehovah God strenghthen your faith, as he has surely strengthened mine during my 13 days of 'Seeing the Good Land."

Just learned today of your trip and spent the evening catching up on your entries. Wish I had known while you were there - would have liked to commented. Oh well, it was quite interesting and enjoyable to read all at once nonetheless. I see you still have the knack for witty banter. Wouldn't mind keeping in touch on occasion. Take care (hope your father is doing OK).
