A new and better home.

This weekend we took the kids up to Dallas to see family. And since we'd never tried the train for a trip we thought we'd give it a try.
As we left on Monday the train passed just to the south of the new Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington.

Now as a Cowboys fan, I've seen the pictures online and every preseason game has included halftime feature segments about the construction, but there is no comparison to seeing it in person.

Even though the train doesn't allow for you to stop and take in the whole thing I realized immediately, TV and the internet can't do this justice. I would equate it to my first trip[ to Las Vegas in 2006. As you walk down the strip at night for the first time, nothing can prepare you for the lights and scope of everything around you. On the train this weekend a little of that came back to me.
I can't wait for the new stadium to open. And I'm ready to see the Dallas area host the Super Bowl. As much as i love Texas Stadium and all it's meant to the organization, I'm in no way sad to see it go, simply because the new place is that much better.
I feel the same way about Heaven. Life here on earth can't compare to the God's Kingdom. And I can't wait for God to call me home. I am pretty sure the stories and songs we've composed can't possibly do it justice .

Till next time.

See Ya.
