Well, I guess this is it. I'm sitting here at terminal B7 in the Nashville International Airport waiting for my flight to Cincinnati, and then on to Washington D.C. ( no, Justin, I'm not going to have enough time to see any of the sites), and then on to Dakar, Senegal. Close at hand, I have a small stone, an origami elephant, four dollars and twenty cents ( all in change), a keychain with my name on it, an envelope full of letters, and fifty dollars cash from a best friend who is concerned with my stinginess in relation to how much I'm going to eat in Senegal.
These are the things that are most important to me as I leave this place. These are the things that will help me remember the amazing love from which I come. These markers represent the love of those who are at home right now, holding the rope as I climb over the ledge into the unknown, bearing nothing but the love of our living Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is the fountain from which their love has so faithfully and beautifully flowed, and this is the fountain that I long to show to the people of Senegal.
In Christ,
Ben Hussung
