Weary desert nomad's refresh at a lush oasis. My travels took me to Oklahoma City where a family from the Air Force generously gave lodging. Before arriving in Oklahoma City, my trek included driving for 12 hours, stopping to see friends for breakfast, and time at IHOP (for prayer not pancakes)
While in Oklahoma, I feasted on the exotic delicacy of Tex-Mex (enough nachos to feed three small cities followed by an entree drowning in cheese). During the digestion process, I reminded myself why I avoided pilot training by playing several hours of Wii. After only a single night of antics, I was completely refreshed.
My friends oasis illustrated the great value in hospitality (in many senses of the word). If God ever grant's me a home one day, then I wonder who I can bless with the ancient tradition of welcoming guests.
