Early morning

We leave for the airport today. Rise and shine was at 0645 to gather with Aaron and Grete to read from the book of common prayer. One of the passages was Isaiah 52:7-12- "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace, who brings good news, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, 'Your God reigns.' This would seem to be a omen for our trip to Thailand. As the trip develops it seems more and more that there is a message we are to carry. I am interested in what that message looks like crossing cultural lines. The concept of culture continues to arise in conversations regarding the trip. We don't know what that will look like yet. I'm sure we'll share.
