On most occasions when I take a trip I will usually pack my bag a half hour before we take off. However, going to the Middle East has fired me up so much that I packed my bag two weeks ago. In fact all of the preparation that Laura and I have done has been exciting, from reading the books, buying the clothing and gear, to getting in physical shape for the trip. All of this for two weeks of traveling.
This has made me question why I do not do this type of training for life, or I should say the Christian Life. The training has been part of the trip itself, making the trip that much longer and more enjoyable. It has taken some extra money and certainly more time, but it has been quite enjoyable preparing for this adventure.
What if we would work at preparing for the rest of our lives, or say eternity, like we might prepare for a trip of a lifetime? I think this would make life much more of an adventure all the way to the very end. I hope to continue the preparation once we are back from Israel. Only this time I will be preparing for the "other" Promised Land.
