New York, New York

I am a little overwhelmed by this city...after a week of staying in a cool apartment in Manhattan, I feel as if I am just beginning to see the uniqueness of New York. My family and I went to a Broadway play, have eaten some incredible food, walked and explored most of the island and enjoyed Christmas in our little home.

Why am I overwhelmed? It's like meeting a new friend and wanting to know everything about them in 10 minutes. The bond comes with time spent together...that's what I long for here in New York. Time to get to know her better. It's a magical place. I laughed to myself yesterday as I passed one of the many tourist shops with t-shirts saying "I Love New York"...I immediately thought of a alternative shirts stating, "Jesus loves New York". What kind of response would I get from wearing that around places like SoHo and the Village? Wearing a t-shirt proclaiming some obscene thought would in my opinion be more acceptable then something stating God loves a place...that He may actually be cool and compassionate.

Yes! You've seen and experienced New York as I have - as one of the best and most interesting cities to visit. While you celebrated New Years in New York, I celebrated in London. Two great cities which both belongs to the world! Take care my friend and Happy New Year!
