Connection to the land

Our Pilgrimage in Galilee concluded this afternoon in a boat on the Sea of Galilee.  From several vantage points, we literally saw what Jesus saw - verdant and fertile hillsides, and a shoreline that has hardly changed in 2,000 years.  The connection to this land and its stories continues to deepen - as does the connection we have with each other.  We renewed our baptismal vows near the mouth of the Jordan River, an experience which we will no doubt carry home and beyond. Tomorrow we head south, following the journey of Jesus - to Jericho and Jerusalem.
