I'm back in the States!

After being gone for 18 months, I finally arrived back in the US late on the 19th. I could feel "America" when I arrived at the Chicago airport and was bombarded with grandiose American restaurants, people dressed business like everywhere, and rude disgruntle airport workers :). It was refreshing. 

I got to talk to 3 different young military dudes on the way over which was awesome. I was reminded of the impact the Air Force had on my life because I could see the difference in them. I was surprised to hear all of them talk about "job security" and they had re-enlisted already and plan to retire. Things we definitely didn't talk about when I was in the Air Force. I was proud of these young guys serving overseas away from their family, and you should be too. 

I've just been relaxing the past two days here nearby Atlanta, catching up with stuff that's been going on in the world and doing some reflecting. I'll be going to SC for a few days and then up to Ohio for a few weeks. 

Thanks for you prayers and support. 

Attached are some songs that have been blessing me lately by Sufjan Stevens.
