To the southbound passenger:

To the sojourners abroad:

This is a new blog dedicated to exploring God's character and who He is and applying it to today's life. Life is like a train. Bet you havent heard that one before huh? Or maybe you have. The point is we are like pilgrims on this earth. Another word for pilgrim in today's day and age might be traveler, wanderer, a passenger rather and the conductor being our Lord. So sojourners we embark on our first journey. We head southbound to San Diego, and this is for a very special person there.

Christina Rossetti writes:

Trust me, I have not earned your dear rebuke,-
I love, as you would have me, God the most;
Would lose not Him, but you, must one be lost,
Nor with Lot's wife cast back a faithless look
Unready to forego what I foresook.
This say I, having counted up the cost,
This, though I be feeblest of God's host,
The sorriest sheep Christ shepherds with His crook.
Yet while I love my God the most I deem
That I can never love you over-much
I love Him more, so let me love you too;
Yea, as I apprehend it, love such I cannot love you if I love not Him
I cannot love Him, if I love not you

I spent a lot of time on the train yesterday and it got me to thinking about how life has many stops and go's, and pushes and pulling. Like a train. We trust the master conductor to do his job and sometimes we dont. Its our journey. This journey was something quite different however. I look forward to going to San Diego again.

Love always,
Corrine
