Episode #5 – The Journey Show Notes
- The Journey
- It used to be that a “journey” was all in a day’s work. Now it takes a lifetime. A new Hallmark line of cards called “Journeys” shows that the word “journey,” originally a literal unit of time and travel, has become a metaphor for the experience of living life with all its ups and downs. – Google
- Life is a process
- You are always experiencing a conversion
- Impatience is a dangerous thing when it comes to interior journeys, spiritual quests, pilgrimages of the soul.
- Pilgrimage
- A pilgrimage is a journey, often into an unknown or foreign place, where a person searches for new or expanded meaning about themself, others, nature, or higher good, through the experience. It can lead to a personal transformation, after which the pilgrim returns to their daily life.
- Pilgrimage
- For in these journeys, we must cover the miles step-by-step, feeling the terrain as we pass through it, responding to its challenges.
- There is no rushing this; there are no shortcuts.
- But that is what makes it so beautiful and dangerous and wonderful. We don’t snap a few photos and rush on; rather, we are changed by our travels.
- I think C. H. Spurgeon had this in mind when he warned that a pilgrim would be better served “by one book thoroughly mastered than by twenty books he has merely skimmed. Little learning and much pride come of hasty reading.” Or hasty travel, we might add.
