that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper

I answer that I cannot answer, you must find out for yourself…

Repost of Episode 591

In this episode of the guided lectio divina podcast, we’re beginning a new series on Inner Journey using Psalm 84:5-7.

And how blessed all those in whom you live,
whose lives become roads you travel;
They wind through lonesome valleys, come upon brooks,
discover cool springs and pools brimming with rain!
God-traveled, these roads curve up the mountain, and
at the last turn—Zion! God in full view!
