After my little brother's experience in the Philadelphia airport...and his arrival in the South, we discussed the differences in the people. Granted, the South has it's annoying traits...like being fake, or being self-righteous, or going to church because it is cultural instead of because it is so good to hear the Word preached so that it can take root and change lives....but Tim has found people to be simply kind on a basic level. So I quote one of his comments:
"If people from the North could go an entire day without speaking to anyone, they totally would."
The truth is, when I go to PA for Christmas...there is a part of me that likes the rough, raw atmosphere. It is good to be around at times...and even if our Eagles fans throw batteries, well it's nice to see such passion!

I know what you mean. I went home this Xmas and actually felt good about being shoved into a train.
It reminded me that I have had a local experience which God used to shape me through most of my life. It reminded me that I am a real person who has an odd solidarity with total strangers. I am a New Yorker.
