Day 1.333: Flight plans

Unlike last year we are planning no major transatlantic travel this 'holiday season'. As a result, although we have been here nearly two full years, this will be our first Christmas in the USA. This is a mixed blessing. It will mean that we won't have to do a lot of packing and travelling and that we will get to spend time with our friends and community over here. This is an exciting time for our church as we make plans to move into a dedicated space and get stuck into a real geographical community. On the other hand, we will miss spending time with family and seeing friends back in the UK. One thing about writing this blog is that I spend some time each day thinking not just about what we've been doing, but also about the people who are (or could be) reading this back in the homeland.

The video is a flight of a different kind - a very cool little gift that Exile #3 won in a game at the birthday party on Saturday.
