Hi folks! I'm looking ahead at the calendar, and I'm coming into my heavy traveling season. May is usually conference month, and I'll be in Rome and then Assisi for most of June. But I will still plan to do a live session of The Journey every week, though on some Saturdays I might need to change the time a bit. And speaking of Rome, just a heads up for those who might be interested, the 2024 Rome pilgrimage will likely be in the second half of May a year from now. So here's what we're looking at for the next two months:
May 6 - The Journey
May 7 - The PIAZZA (time TBD)
May 13 - The Journey
May 20 - The Journey (time TBD)
May 27 - The Journey
June 3 - The Journey - LIVE FROM ROME
June 10 - The Journey - LIVE FROM ROME
June 17 - The Journey - LIVE FROM ROME or ASSISI
June 24 - The Journey - LIVE FROM ASSISI
And I will try to do some other things from Rome as well - maybe we'll have The Piazza from an actual Piazza!
Dear friends - Please take 10 minutes to watch this personal update from me:
I mentioned in The Journey that I wrote a song based on Isaiah 2, which is one of my favorite OT passages:
In days to come, the mountain of the Lord’s house
shall be established as the highest mountain, and raised above the hills.
All nations shall stream toward it. Many peoples shall come and say:
“Come, let us go up to the Lord’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, That he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For from Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations, and set terms for many peoples.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; One nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again. House of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!
I hope you like the song!
I hope to have another installment of THE JOURNEY up this Saturday - here's the text for the rest of the chapter - I didn't bother with the colored text since this is all from the Gospel of John.
