there's no place like home

I've been home for just over a month now, and what a full time it has been!  I have been so blessed to get to see many of you.  In addition to celebrating Christmas with family in Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia (yes, we have a large extended family), I spent New Year's Eve with some very dear friends in South Carolina, and then my birthday with my family back in NC.  In the meantime I've made a few trips to Atlanta to catch up with friends and supporters, go to the dentist, and see a good friend get married.  Besides all the merriment I have loved being able to just enjoy the comforts of home - hot water from the tap, home cooked meals, trips to Target . . .the list could go on and on.
About a week and a half ago I was at Perimeter Church for a time of sharing what I have been doing in Tanzania.  I was so encouraged by how many of you came to show your support.  Thank you!
