Reminiscing

Back in Tulsa after 14 years. Tulsa a changed a bit since we lived here. Actually, it has changed a lot. It's a little bit freaky to drive around on streets that I used to be familiar with and not recognize anything! At least there's still Braum's Ice Cream and gas is cheaper here than we've seen anyplace else in the USA.
It's been great to reconnect with some old friends here - we're meeting a good number of children for the first time, and one child in particular that I saw this morning is somewhere closer to 30. If I had met him on the street, I might have mistaken him for his Dad as I remember him from 15 years back. Crazy!
One of the great things about this visit has been the opportunity to see the church we were a part many years ago. They're in their 'new' building, which is oddly clean and high tech. It was great to see all the ways that, in spite of all the surface changes and 99% new faces, they haven't changed and are still focused on being what they have always been. Most encouraging!
