Random thoughts after a trip to North Carolina...
+ One of my favorite parts of a trip is to listen when the flight attendant announces the connecting gates. As she reads the list -- San Diego, Gate C22; Orlando, Gate B 15 ...-- I enjoy memories of trips to the places I've been, wonder about the places I've never visited and marvel at how a group that's often as small as 30-50 folks can scatter in so many different directions.
+ What's better than spending a few days with family who live halfway across the country? Not much, really.
+ Airports need more electrical outlets.
+ Quote from Timothy Keller's The Reason for God, which I read on the trip: "The fact that Jesus had to die for me humbled me out of my pride. The fact that Jesus was glad to die for me assured me out of my fear."
