This was my first trip to the Deep South of the USA. Unfortunately,
the first leg of my flight down was late and I missed my connection
from Chicago to Huntsville. This meant that besides losing a night
with my friends and staying in a hotel, I also missed Bert
and Christina’s Sunday morning sermon at their new Church. I
finally arrived in Huntsville on Sunday in the early afternoon.
This was the first time I’d ever met Bert and we became instant
friends. I don’t think there was any time during the trip
where we weren’t philosophising, telling anecdotes, sharing dreams or
just generally chatting. :)
We drove around Hunstville and saw some sights but mostly we spent
time together. I had a really enjoyable midnight run with them after
I’d been properly outfitted with new running shoes. One of the high
points was seeing their new Church. They had started ministering at a
small Unity Church near the end of 2000 and it was fun watching them
show me something that has so obviously brought them much joy.
I left Huntsville for the first time with a bag full of new philosophy
book, an long list of books still to buy, a pile of great stories, new
running shoes, and two new family members.
