Reentry

Reentry into Motown.

Triple hazelnut nonfat latte. Clean streets. Children laughing. No more smells of rotting decay in the air. Parking lots without FEMA trailers. Absence of Red Cross ERV sirens. Normal life.

I woke up at 5 a.m. this morning, the same time I've woken up every day for the last 10 days. Ready to work; ready for an assignment to a work crew. As I lay in bed, I prayed for our team. For safety, for God to be honored. But no work detail for me. Only thing on my agenda today was resting and playing with my girls.

As I think about all of the physical, emotional, and human loss that I've seen, I count my blessings. My infinite blessings...

Looking forward to seeing all of the team again soon.
