Traveling Together

Here I am meeting our group. People from all over: Oregon, Indiana, Florida, and other fun spots. What else do you do when you sit in O'hare with 2.5 hours before our flight leaves. The nice thing about this is that we are not traveling alone. We have a great group of brothers and sisters of Christ on a "family" vacation.

Our guide, leader, rabbi, or George, went to seminary with me, oh so many years ago. It was really nice to see him again and we are looking forward to renewing acquaintances.

Back when I was in seminary I served as the student body president. So I was asked to give an official "thanks" for a painting that was donated. It was called "The Joyful Procession" and depicted a group of disciples enthusiastically following Jesus. I got a real strong feeling that the group we are with will be a lot like the group in the painting. Everyone seems very enthusiastic and eager to walk with Jesus on the rocky paths where scripture was written.
