January 23, 2009

Well, this is the day that I thought I was supposed to leave for Japan. I got dates mixed up for a variety of reasons. Anyhow, thank goodness there were seats left in the plane on Sunday.

I noticed last night, realizing that I was not where I was supposed to be in the world (although of course I actually was where I was supposed to be, here in Nanjing), that I felt a little lonely and a little homesick. I was aware of not having a community last night and sometimes it is hard not to be able to watch American T.V. even though I'm not much of a T.V. watcher. But for those of you in the United States, think about this: when watching a T.V. show sometimes some kind of sense of community is formed because you know that at the same time other Americans are also watching the same T.V. show at the same time. Just some things I'm learning about being here in a foreign country. There are some run-on sentences in this paragraph that the Apostle Paul would be proud of!
