In the airport there milled around hundreds of people who were all strangers–maybe thousands. I would just people watch. They came in all ages, face and sizes. Some people were tall and others short. Their faces were all different. I could only marvel at God’s diversity. I kept expecting to run into a friendly and familiar face. This was unrealistic. In my town of less than a thousand I keep bumping into someone I have never seen so I don’t know know why I should expect that.

There were electrical outlet stations scattered in the airplane terminal. Everyone today has I Pods, cell phones, laptops. And they were being used. That was a sight you would not have seen twenty years ago.

It was an auspicious start to my trip to New Orleans. I left my house at twelve pm and did not get to my friends’ house until ten pm. The plane I was supposed to take for the first leg of my journey was delayed, which meant I would miss my connecting flight. The agent rerouted my flights but it meant almost a five hour layover in Dulles Airport. I almost did not know what to do with my time. Finally I listened to some music on my I Pod. It was an interminable wait. I was so relieved when my plane took off and my friend picked me up and finally made it to his house.
