WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Busman's Holidays

 

r
        I have been in the ministry for 57 years  not including my seven years at grad-school and internships. As preaching was part of my role, I am often visiting churches to check out their pulpits. The one above is in the church just off the main market square in Munich. I have stood in or admired pulpits just to name a few: Dexter Ave. King Memorial Baptist Church in Montgomery Alabama the parish of MK King. St. Giles, Edinburgh, is the home church of Presbyterianism. John Knox was their pastor and  rabble rouser. The pulpit in the Paris Hospital part of Napoleon's Tomb is one of the prettiest. The most rustic is at Leupp at the Navaho Nation. I was a counterfeit Catholic at St. Canice Cathedral in Kilkenny, Ireland which stands near the tomb of Barack  Obama's great uncle.  I can write a thesis. BUT, I bet if you are a lawyer you check the court houses, or a physician making a slower drive near a hospital. My wife likes schools.
