When in Rome

We’ve all heard the expression, “When in Rome, do what the Romans do.”

Tonight, after driving through Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, I’m an overnight guest at a friend’s home. There are ten people and two dogs in 1200 square feet, all of them asleep now at 2:08 AM except me.

On a borrowed computer, sitting on a bed with my friend lying next to me, there are people laid out in every room and lights are extinguished.

My only choice is to do what the Romans do and shut off this lap top.

Night night.

“God gives rest to his loved ones.” (Psalm 127:2b)

  1. same here to an extent. living in community is challenging laying down “rights” to quiet or whatever. there are benefits though.

  2. Praise the Lord for your safe travels. You were carried on wings of prayers by all who love you.

  3. Everybody should be Italian for awhile! Be safe and rest as you make your way north!
    Love,

  4. Amen!! Enjoy your friends; enjoy the beauty of the mountains (wish I were there; love that part of the world) and have a safe journey…you are covered with prayer.

  5. I’m praying for a good, safe journey home, praising God for all His gifts, and meditating on all we are learning.

  6. Glad your trip has been safe. Have a good time with those you stop to see, I’ m sure you will be blessed and have a wonderful time in your Prayer mobile.
