It’s summer, and while some of us may go on vacation, an exodus to the beach or the mountains back at Grandview, we’ll be meditating on exoduses all summer long.  Think about all the transitions in your own life, all the times you’ve departed one place to head for a new one, whether geographically or mentally or spiritually.  How did you break free of the old?  Was the process pretty or painful?  Can you see the Promised Land from here?  Come along on the journey!
