Reflections

January 26, 2011

Tonight we leave for home.  We are finishing up packing and gathering for final good-byes.  This has been a educational, fun, crazy trip.  I tried to give you all a taste of what we learned and saw through this blog.  Please forgive any spelling or grammatical mistakes.  It was quite a challenge to post and upload pictures every day.

The only thing that I might regret about this trip is really not understanding the story of my Christian brother and sisters in Thailand.  I felt that each Buddhist and Muslim that I met was clear about how their faith works for them and how it gives them peace.  I did not seem to get this type of information from the Christians we met with.  I know our experience could not be the same.  Just because we profess the same faith does not mean that our stories are the same.  I am not sure if I did not ask the right questions or if they thought that since we are Christian that we felt the same.  I hope that I can continue the conversation with the wonderful people we have connected with during this trip.

This blog is not quite yet done.  This afternoon we will do a little site seeing before leaving for our flight.  More pictures will be posted in the next 36 hours.  I will also posted again once we get to Korea.

In peace...
