a Narnia experience

As I sat at my kitchen table the night I returned from England, I had a sudden strange feeling like I had only dreamed my visit to England. So much was packed into the time I was gone, but it seems so little out of the ordinary took place back home...like I had stepped into the wardrobe and lived a full life and returned to find only seconds had passed.

How does one capture the key things of an incredible few weeks in my 'Sheffield wardrobe'? Let me attempt to do so in pictures (glad I have them, or I might not believe it actually happened):

Good conversations...

visit my pictures website to see more...if you so desire...
perhaps at some point I'll have words to describe the journey...until then, I'll just say: God has done great things, and I have seen more deeply the transforming power of the Gospel at work in my life and all around me as my eyes have been opened and my perspective on so many things radically altered. Meaningful and significant, that's what this trip was, and the story's not finished yet!
