Friends,
Sally and I had a great time celebrating the wedding of her sister Celeste and Scott, wishing them well as they begin their new life together, visiting friends in Annapolis and trekking around Washington, D.C. Since we and the people we were with were all from out of the area, we got lost a lot, and made so many U-turns that we eventually decided to call our trip “The Great U-Turn.” Time and again we would say, “I remember seeing that . . . before,” or “I know we are not far from where we are supposed to be.” Even the GPS was of only limited help—not because it was not working. The fault was not in the GPS. Reflecting on the trip, it seems a bit like a modern parable. Life is full of U-turns. The biblical word for this is “forgiveness.” We live in a world of second and third chances. Happy travels.
Peace, David
