Driving Driving Driving

I'm sorry I couldn't fully capture on film the images I saw today. I spent about 6 hours in the car driving on the plains of Texas. I grew up going through Indiana farm country which is nice, but there is something captivated to me about this area. The wide open horizon is breathtaking at sunset. Most people groan when I mention driving to Abilene or Fort Worth, but in reality I really like the drive.

Granted, you need to take your own tunes since in most spots there will be shady cell coverage and only one country station. However, there are valleys, hills, small ranch houses, and windmills seasoning the path. At sunset the air is crisp and the scruffy vegetation glows in hues of orange, purple, blue, and red. My favorite tunes on my MP3 player coming through the stereo just top off the experience.

As I drove back "home" I realized just how blessed I have been in this place. Sure, no place really feels like what I imagine "home" to feel like since by brain is used to the moving every 3-6 months. However, these wide open spaces are feeling comfortable and I thank the Lord for all he's doing in this out of the way town.
