I am finally home. I flew in Friday afternoon. 8 hour and 20 minute flight - yeeeIKES. I know, some of you Australians and all are saying "mate, wait till you fly to the US from heeee!" OK, I'll give you that. But wait till you don't even like to fly to begin with and then aren't used to travel, etc. Anyway, I'm very glad to be back home. Did I say how happy I am to be home? I think I did.
It was a wonderful trip. It was a gift and I am grateful for it and very glad that I did it. I sort of wish I didn't do it by myself, but that's what we could afford (sort of). It was a promise kept - before I turn 40, I'll go there, I said, and I did. I have those great memories woven into me forever now. And thank God for digital photography. I also have 1,022 photos to keep and look at for years to come.
And I've just accidentally trashed 3 or 4 months worth of photos from my laptop - not the Ireland ones - in the process of trying to back them all up - how's that for suck. Good God. I have to go away now for a bit.

"Keep your eyes on the crucifix, for Jesus without the cross
is a man without a mission, and the cross without Jesus
is a burden without a reliever." Fulton J. Sheen
"...I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be
completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self." Henri Nouwen
