October Focus: Transportation

The Christian faith has always been a faith "on the move." Jesus and his followers were always traveling - albeit not great distances. But what Jesus and the disciples lacked in terms of distance they accounted for in terms of frequency. They are almost never in the same place for very long. Often the gospel writers tells us they are "on the way" which is both literal and figurative. They were "on the road again," but they were also on the "way" to God and the bringing about of God's kingdom. One of the earliest names for the Christian movement was "the way."

We have considerably more options from getting from place to place in our day. But our options should raise questions about how we choose to be "on the move" and what that says about our WAY of life.

Here is another introductory video with some hints to get you thinking and praying: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_RKnGjfnQY
