Home is Were the Heart Is

I strongly believe in that statement. Riding home with my good friend Molly Van Bibber, the hours flew by with expectation. The 10 hour drive seemed nothing more than just 2 hours. Eager to get home, we didn't even stop for dinner. Home is were the heart is, and mine is definitely in Keene, Texas.

Even though in High School I hated on my hometown a lot, I now see I was being immature. Just because Keene only has two stop lights and every other city has something fun to do (not really. . .) doesn't mean home can't be found there. When I was young, the grass really did look greener everywhere else. Even though it was nice to get a change from Keene when I came to Lincoln, I quickly saw that if the reason I left was to "get away" then something was very wrong. I know now that Union is where I want to get my degree, but Keene is home. And I'm never going to hate on it again. Well, maybe just on its dining opportunities. . .

Either way, I'm reminded that this world is not our home. Jesus knew what He was talking about when He said that where our treasure is our heart is also. If my treasure is not in heaven, then my heart is not there, which means home isn't there either. I really hope I don't hate on heaven just because there are no Batman movies, or no Chicken Express. I want my heart to be in heaven, so that my home will be there too.

Random Rant I

People, please, give the turkey a chance! Santa can wait until after I've enjoyed my thanksgiving dinner to market impulse buying and debt. Thanks!

Talking about Thanksgiving, I simply CANNOT wait (although I have to...) to get home. There simply no words to explain how excited I am of going home.

Talking about home, the weather there is going to be in the upper 70s, a  far cry from this Nebraska weather. A couple of weeks ago it snowed here, and I have a blog post brewing in my mind from that experience.

Talking about experiences...Joel Sartore, a National Geographic photographer, offered me an internship piecing together and editing videos--may include videos for NatGeo themselves! Super stoked for that venture. A blog post will be posted soon about what happened there.

Talking about ventures, I will pitch the Epic of Josar (I'm making a video for them, too) to Joel, this could mean more publicity for Josar and a couple of bucks for Joel--or maybe I can do it...who knows?
