PREPARING FOR A JOURNEY TO LONDON, ENGLAND

PREPARING FOR THE JOURNEY TO LONDON, ENGLAND

We leave this Friday and will be gone for a week to visit London. Plans are progressing. We have a hotel, an airline ticket, my t-mobile phone will work with text messaging, the visa card has finally began to work (advice: when you get a new visa card do not buy gas as the first thing since that is the first thing people do when they steal your card), and I have mapped the journey pretty well.

To Do Items:

I want to see Westminister Abbey, the graves of T.S. Eliot and Lancelot Andrewes (one of the translators of the King James Bible and also a great devotional writer), the place where Anne Bolyn was beheaded, and the Codex Sinaiaticus – the oldest Bible with the Old and New Testaments in it (from the 3rd century AD).

I go searching for the spirit of a place. “Travel should be a process of gathering knowledge about ourselves,” said someone.

And most importantly, be prepared for the unexpected !! Who knows maybe I will see the Queen (ha).

Getting away for all of us can be a needed experience, hopefully a time of rejuvenation, learning, and a renewed calling for our lives.

May all of our journeys be meaningful !
