I had to cut my participation in the conference short and book a quick flight back to Florida. It seems the unit above ours sprung a leak, so consequently ours is flooded. And after we had no damage from Hurricane Ian, a faucet leak takes us out!
I'm coming back tomorrow to assess and take care of the damage. It remains to be seen when the place will be livable again, but thankfully my library survived. Tammy is still in the Philippines with our daughter and grandson, so it should all be fixed before they come back, and hopefully I will still get to travel there to meet them.
Please pray for us, for a quick solution to the water damage and safe travels until we are all home.
And look for a new episode of the Way of the Fathers podcast coming on Wednesday the 12th.
Arrivederci Roma!
I'm back, up and running, and ready to go - I should have a new JOURNEY episode within the next week or so - and because you are my loyal peeps, here is an exclusive, just-for-you, behind the scenes SNEAK PEEK into my new office:
This was for March 24th, recorded for the Ascension App
Thanks for your patience - here is our next installment of The Journey - it's session # 96, but I'm also calling it PART 1 of a "miniseries" on John chapter 6.
Whoever watches it first, please let me know if it looks good or if there are any problems with it - I get through the first two sections of the text on the feeding of the 5,000.
Enjoy!
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!
