I can’t believe it. It is almost time to go home.
This past 12 days have been absolutely amazing. We saw many different cathedrals, churches, and even ruins of old abbeys and churches. But what I think we really got out of this, more so than the experience of all these fantastic sights and cities, was what we got spiritually.
We all learned a new way to pray, to be with God and his Son, Jesus Christ. We learned that in no way possible can we mess up prayer. It is “all about the intention.” We all must learn how to use our different talents to be closer to Christ. And that is what I am going to remember most about this trip, more so than how to be active within your community (which is what I had the most trouble with), more so than all the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of this amazing and astounding country of England. How. To. Be. Closer. To. Christ.
see ya’ll tomorrow!

God’s Blessing to you all.
It is 4:15 pm Franklin time, 10:15 pm your time.
You are recalling your wonderful journey, packing, or have hit the bed for the trip home (I doubt the latter having read your blogs…you aren’t going to miss a thing)l
I am in the office working on some details for Fr. Bob’s upcoming trip and just became distracted and mezmerized by all your blogs. I am sooo proud of each and everyone of you even though I don’t know you personally.
You have not gotten blogs from me as the group did last year, but I have definitely been following you all the way. There is an old German saying, “When angels fly the skys are blue.” The day you flew out, on my way back to the office I kept watching the blue surface from the gray and actually started to name each new burst of white puffiness after each of you.
The skys are bright blue here today…I pray that they will continue for your flight home knowing of the precious angels in flight.
God’s Love and Peace
PS Bryn and John, I have advised the airlines of the correct spelling of your names.
