yes, home is home, but God put us here in the field for a reason. We are not to despise his creation and wish to leave it — it’s kind of strange, we wish to be with Him, yet not to wish so much that we kill ourselves to be with Him :-P
Not strange to me.
We have a job. A duty. At the end of the line, we get to go home (heaven).
The duty isn’t all bad, but some of it is. Home is all good.
But you don’t drop you duty and head home early. You keep working.
Just the way I was raised.
