Make the memories that I guarantee you will carry you through those day when you are a senior pastor. Although my oldest friend a Catholic priest who lived & worked in SA during the Apartheid era is now 83 and that man still get's around like a 40 year old. (Fr. Cas blog on my list)<br /><br />It's good to read a first hand account of Scotland, my grandpa was from there. He passed before I was old enough to ask him about his time there so I will with vicarial imagination pretend he saw some of these same places.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-28443442771943116872017-10-09T22:01:00.790-04:002017-10-09T22:01:00.790-04:00Sounds like a wonderful trip.

It looks beautifully green there (much more so than Greece).
