A Prayer for the Team

Today the actual trip begins. I don't know what kind of access I'll have to the blog from this point forward but I'll do my best to post daily, keeping everyone apprised of the day's events. I admit that I don't like leaving home but I'm trying to regard this, not as a "trip," but in the ancient Christian sense of "pilgrimage." Toward that end, I offer the following intercession from the Book of Common Prayer as the supplication I ask you to make for me and my companions on this journey.

O God, our heavenly Father, whose glory fills the whole
creation, and whose presence we find wherever we go: Preserve
those who travel, in particular Sherman, Jena, Joe and Doug; surround
them with your loving care; protect them from every danger;
and bring them in safety to their journey's end; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
