"There is an intellectual desire, an eros of the mind. Without it there would arise no questioning, no inquiry, no wonder." Bernard Lonergan

"It seems clear that humans cannot significantly reduce or mitigate the dangers inherent in their use of life by ccumulating more information or better theories or by achieving greater predictability or more caution in their scientific and industrial work. To treat life as less than a miracle is to give up on it." Wendell Berry

"Do not be afraid, my little flock, for it is the Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Luke 12:32

Wide Open Spaces


There will be much to write in coming days.  Preview - tomorrow we see Roman ruins in and around the country of Jordan.  That's right we are safely in Jordan.  Everyone in the group just shared a wonderful meal.  Off to bed to catch up on all the sleep we lost :) .

The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof!  So exclaims the Psalmist.  And our picture perfect flight today certainly would suggest as much.  Not a bad way to spend a day - lost in the splendor and glory of the Alps, the Mediterranean, and the mountains of Turkey before darkness fell.


(those aren't clouds, those are the Alps)

At this point everyone is hoping for a good night's sleep.  Safely in Jordan, I'll blog more tomorrow after we have seen some of the sights and beauty of Jordan.

When we left the U.S. it was raining and everyone was complaining.  It is raining here and supposed to continue to do so.  Nobody complaining though.  They say it is a blessing.  Which it is.

(last airport shot - here is much of the group as we await Visas and other travel documents - everyone here tired but mostly happy)
