Then ya take a left at the old Johnson farm...

Have you ever gotten directions like that? I have.

The "signs" are obvious to the person giving them, but it's this weird, cryptic language to the rest of us.

God is taking our church on a journey, & for the last several years I've felt at times like I was looking for "the old Johnson farm" to know where we were heading.

But something has changed.

I've known for years where we're headed, & I've known that I've never been there before. And I've had this feeling all along that when we got there, I'd just "know it."

Well, the scenery is beginning to take on a warm familiarity... Like we're getting close to home. Like when you've been gone for a while & then start getting close & smell the air & think, "Wow... I forgot about that smell!"

No, I've never been here before... But it's good to be back!
