Pilgrimage on my mind

Last night, Beth Ann, Fr. Russ and myself met for the last time pre-trip.
Beth Ann "handed over" the logistics of the trip to me. From now on, I will be the mediator, conciliator, negotiator and problem solver. I'm looking forward to the challenge.

I am ready for the challenge of this pilgrimage, although I'm struggling with health issues, especially my foot/heel pain. It's been several months now that the heel pain has existed. My own diagnostics is that I'm suffering of plantar fasciitis. That would be my cross to bear, and to carry with me during this pilgrimage.

One thing that is bugging me is that I'm not yet at the spiritual level that I wish I was... centered in prayer for others and for the good of this world.

God bless all followers, readers, and those that have asked for prayers while in the Holy Land.
