Greetings from Dallas TX

Texas, where everything is bigger...
We arrived here on Tuesday evening for a youth prayer conference: Just Claim It 2007. Yesterday (Saturday) an estimated 12,000 visitors attended, most of them young people--i.e. not my age ;-)
And it was good to see some representation from the UK, Robert Hines from the SEC and some fellow Brits had come over.

The conference was quite an experience.
But all good things must come to an end, and now I'm in the hotel lobby--free wireless internet (in the room it's $10/day)--counting hours. We're meeting to leave at 4am (!). We is 50 Bermudians... and the flight leaves at 6am.
Yesterday as I walked in the crowd at the conference, I thought about home in Bermuda. In less than 48 hours I'd be walking again, with the same computer bag (still got the black leather bag from the church members in Gloucester), only this time it would be by myself again, down the Cut toward our house... a quiet walk down a village lane--what a contrast. Both scenarios have their good sides and not so good sides.

The brain is working slower now, it's past midnight in Dallas. In the UK many people are up already (it's just gone past 6am).
So let me leave with a howdy, and whatever else is said in this area.

Before I left Bermuda I bought my wife a bus pass. It's lime green in March... :-)
