it's interesting how the definition of "home" can change so much. it's so relative. my home is in charleston, south carolina, but i live at duke. here in madrid, my home is my seƱora's house. when i'm traveling, my home can be a hotel room or a hostel. home also means people too. last weekend, i visited london, and i was able to see emily lin, and in a way, seeing her was being at home. :) so many homes... hmm...
i think my ultimate home is under God's wing. (especially with definitions 4 & 7.) ;)
