A Tale of Two Cities

We have been in Fort Wayne for nearly two years. It is hard to believe that we have lived here that long. Our time at seminary is flying by. There are days when we feel as if we have been here forever, but most days, it feels like we just moved here.

I have found that I now have two homes. When I am in Fort Wayne and I speak of traveling home, it is a reference to Topeka. Ben and I wax eloquent on the virtues of Topeka, how we miss our family, what a wonderful church St. John's is, and how there is no place we would rather be.



After a couple of weeks on staying in Topeka, we begin to long for Fort Wayne and we long to go home. We miss our friends, the rude drivers, the snow, the crisp air, the massive evergreen trees, and our circle of confessional Lutheranism.



It seems that our home is wherever we are not. It is an odd feeling to be so unsettled. Our plan is that when Ben receives his call in a couple of years we will be able to finally single out one place as home...or maybe we will have three homes then?
