My Lovely Commenters

Ah, you’ve been good to me this week.  Here’s some jewels:

Jacki: “You’ve been mentioning the President a lot lately….becoming a fan?”

Well, I’ll let that hang there for a bit (I did answer Jacki via email, though.).  Expect a post about that later this week, probably.  I’ve got other good stuff lined up, but I’ll see if I can squeeze in a non-political talk about politics!

Heather: “Don’t fret, my dear – you’ll get your old passport back with all its kewl stamps!”

Haha, you used “fret” and “kewl” in the same sentence!  Oh, and I’m really glad to hear that.

Elizabeth: “I love that about Open Door. Every sermon/lesson is for the whole church and is modified to be on everyon’s level of understanding. I think it’s incredible what young children really do know and absorb through those lessons and especially if parents work with them at home.”

It’s certainly a challenge sometimes, but oh so worth it!

Joy said, “I try and comment as much as I can. I tend to try and write shorter post and I like to read short post.  I think we’re all stretched for time and like to read as many blogs as possible. When I click on some blogs and I have to scroll my mouse several times just to read the post I’m like aiyiyi. That is why I like your blog. You are great at getting to the point.  Keep em short and sweet people.”

Thanks, Joy!  I like them short ‘n’ sweet, too, though I have a bloggy friend or two that are known for their verbosity that make me laugh, just like Dickens or Fielding (ahem, Heather, ahem).

No Escape

I was checking out my passport yesterday to get the number off of it, and I discovered that it expired on Saturday.  I knew it was expiring this March or next, but I was hoping to get in one more trip before it did.

Not having a valid passport any more is a strange feeling.  It’s not like I have ever had the urge to up and leave the country, but it’s nice knowing that that’s always an option.  I’ll definitely be getting this one renewed very soon.

It’ll be sad to send in my passport, though.  It bears the marks from my trips to Spain, Mexico, and two trips to Turkey.  Four international trips within 10 years isn’t too bad.

I guess this also means that I’m coming up on my 10th anniversary of being a world traveler.

If you left our country today, where would your international destination be?
