My friend Laura wrote a post on her website today called “The Return“, detailing some thoughts on their return to Honduras. They spent a little over a month back here in the States raising money and awareness for their missions organization. A couple paragraphs caught my attention.

I’ve spent a lot of time on Facebook in the past few weeks. One of the fun things is reconnecting with high school classmates and friends. It’s interesting to see the direction that our lives have taken since graduation. Most of us are married, with children ranging from none to seven. Many appear to be [...]
