Who shall I send?

And who will go for us?
Isaiah 6:1-8
That has always been the question I have wanted to answer. In fact I have tried to answer it throughout my life in some way, shape, or form. Though my response has generally been metaphoric, or symbolic at best.
I have also tried to create my own interpretation as to where I should go. I would head out to some unknown waste land--[B]Honor, Michigan[/B] (real no man's land), [B]Oil City Pennsylvania; [/B][B]Honeybrook, Pennsylvania[/B] (50 miles west of Philadelphia), [B]St. Michaels' Maryland;[/B] [B]Yee Haw Junction, Florida[/B] (between Okeechobee and Orlando), As well as some beautiful places I never wanted to leave like [B]Cameron, Montana; Yellowstone, Wyoming; Kremmling Colorado; Madison, Wisconsin;[/B] [B]Boulder Colorado, and a[/B] thousand other places between Williamsburg, Virgina and Portland, Oregon along the 5,000 mile Trans-American Bicycle Trail.
Then, just like Jonah, I would always find myself back where I was meant to be. Every journey was temporary, or so I thought.
But in looking back, every journey has been the purpose for my travels. Every destination has had a reason. Everytime I left, I did do thinking
[COLOR=blue][B]"If only I could have stayed another day, a week, a month...if I had more time here I could have done someting.." [/B][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]It is only in retrospect[/COLOR], that I am able to understand the influence I have had at each juncture of my travels. I have not always changed the world, but I doubt if that was the goal, but I have changed perceptions, given life to old dreams, and most importantly I have LEARNED so much more than I have taught.
