This is Linda taking Morning Prayer for us this morning on the boat that has been our home today.
It has of course been very enjoyable visiting three of the Agean islands but it has also given us the chance to reflect on the sea journey Paul took at the end of his time in Corinth, together with all the other sea journeys he undertook. They were often everything ours was not: uncomfortable, dangerous and uncertain. But Paul undertook them for the sake of the gospel; as we thought at the beginning of this pilgrimage, Christ's love compelled him.
A postscript: any rumours that your blogger deliberately put his hand on a sea urchin so as to write about Paul's 'thorn in the flesh' are entirely unfounded...
