Sometimes when we take a journey (vacation, work trip, etc.) by the end of the trip there is a bit of frustration, strife, and annoyance between those who have spent the time together. Even though going away is fun, there is still part of each of us that longs for our own comfortable bed, space we are familiar with, or even well-known roads instead of unfamiliar ones.
Vacation is nice. Coming back is hard. But going away often makes you realize just how nice home is too.
This journey we have been on in our congregation has been a long one. It has been a strange one. There might have been frustrating times. But, in the end, when it matters most, our church family became stronger.

Our church family will be growing very soon, and there will be challenges ahead. But to my current church family, I hope you know how much you all mean to me. And if we had to go through this journey, I am glad to have travelled it with all of you.
