Journeys…
I have been reading a short version of the settling of the city of Seattle, with its interactions of Illinois immigrants and the local tribes, the beginning industry of logging and export, the people, their hardships and vision…some stayed, some left for other adventures…each sought their destiny …
I first saw Seattle in 1962 for the World’s Fair…oh, yes, we used to have World’s Fairs where people from all over the world would work together to create an exposition celebrating new technologies, foods, new buildings, museums, etc…they were held all over the world every few years…amazing places to visit…
Seattle built the Space Needle and the monorail among other things which still draw people from all over…
My parents, a friend and I saved our money to attend, we stayed in a 16’ travel trailer in a gravel lot, temporary housing for fair visitors(one of the freeways now passes over the “luxurious” spot now). We marveled at the sights…the dome shaped energy efficient house, ate Belgian waffles, went through the science exhibition…etc…the. We journeyed to Victoria, B.C. and saw the beautiful Buchart Gardens…what an adventure…
As I turned the page to today passage, this is what came up…
“Jesus’ final journey “

The Chronological Study Bible, Thomas Nelson, NIV, 2014
The phrase, “a destiny, of which he was well aware and which he faced willingly “…caught my heart…Jesus came with a purpose…He met it with joy, courage…He came with us in mind…the World of people in his heart, because He loved, loves us…the journey was planned, looked forward to…he didn’t stay in luxury, or wealth, which he could have claimed…he walked among the sights he created with people he loved…he came with vision to build, to save…
We each have journeys, be they near or far…destinations for we which we plan (or not)…there are journeys all through the Word…but, I am so glad Jesus made this journey for each and every one of us…
Thank YOU…
Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). There they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
John.19.17-18
He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
2Tim.1.9-10
I have decided…
