Crush of Humanity

Alan made it to Yalta even after being left behind at the airport. He found his way from the airport to a bus station to take alternate transportation to where he needed to be. Emily was worried and I can't wait to hear the lessons learned from his experience. He arrived later than he had anticipated but safely. Thank You, Jesus.
This morning, I woke up early, which in its self is weird, and I went to the school all by myself. Emily and Lori were still asleep when I left so I wrote them a note. I made it fine even with the crush of bodies on the bus and metro. This was different than on the weekends when I travel and I am usually offered a seat because my arm is in a sling. Today no one noticed because no one really looked at one another....it seemed like everyone had the expression that it has already been a long work week! I expect with having to get up early everyday and facing the crush of humanity that early I may begin to sport a grim expression, too. No, I really don't think that is going to happen - me grim. lol
There wasn't really anything I could do at school because I couldn't get the server to access the files I needed. So, I just wrote Day, the Headmaster (his title), a note saying I would see him and the others on Monday and then came home.
Later, Alan called again and said he was enjoying his time sharing with Jeff, even though it's brief and he will be home tomorrow. Happy that he lives where we does. I will have to explore exactly what he means by that. Wherever I "hang my hat" is home to me.

I am never alone.

I can never escape from your Spirit!

I can never get away from your presence!

If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.

If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans,

even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.

Psalm 139:7-10 NLT
