Jet Lag Anyone?

We did it!!! We made it back to the States alive and well!!!

As I thought about the trip as a whole on the flight and over the course of today, I had a few thoughts - as I am sure many of you did. Some of us are going home to stay with families, others are going back to school, some are starting jobs again, and others aren't really sure what the next step is. In some ways, it is sad to realize that such a fantastic season of life is over, for now. On the flip side - we all have another big adventure waiting for us as we start on this next phase of life.
One of the things that I personally learned from the trip was how to enjoy the process of change. One of my favorite things was the bus rides; odd, I know. But I was able to see the country side, reflect on the experience of the city, and really think through some personal thoughts and feelings. I was able to learn that as we transition from one phase of life to another, we can learn to enjoy the transition. During the bus rides, I was able to ask myself 'what about this previous experience can help me improve myself?' And as I thought about that I was able to see qualities others had well developed, but I was lacking.
James Barry, the author of Peter Pan, once said, "God gave us memories so that we may have June roses in the Decembers of our lives." So as we all head off to the next grand adventure in life, I hope we will each be able to savor the better parts, or June roses, of the 2008 Religious History Tour and allow the less than perfect parts fade rapidly from our minds.

I'm interested to hear what everyone favorite aspect of the trip was. Please feel free to leave comments!
