Home. That word means so many different things to people. I’ve been thinking a lot about ‘home’ lately. Pearson and I are about to go ‘home’ for the holidays. We just went to homecoming at Harding. But by what I think is a real definition, my home is my apartment with Pearson in Ohio. So I wondered what ‘home’ really means to me and I’ve compiled a list.
- Our Apartment
- The city of Columbus, Ohio
- The suburb of Dublin, Ohio
- F & K Church of Christ
- My parents’ house where I grew up
- My in-laws’ house where I spent a lot of time while we are dating and where I now spend about half of my holidays.
- The city of Atlanta
- The towns of Sugar Hill and Buford, Georgia
- Buford Church of Christ
- North Gwinnett High School
- Harding University
- The town of Searcy, Arkansas
- Cathcart, Searcy, and Shores dorms
- The upstairs computer lab in the science building at Harding
- The science building in general at Harding
You know what’s interesting? A lot of these places are places I’ve lived before or at least spend a lot of time there and I still consider them home. Or at least I feel like I’m coming home when I go back and visit. I’ve come to the conclusion that home really is ‘where the heart is’, as cliche as that sounds.
What does home mean to you? Do you have a long list like me?
Thanks for reading!
