Readers: I’m currently trekking a hundred and some miles across the Central Massif of France, a wild and uninhabited area of ancient basalt flows cut by deep gorges and sprinkled with a few tiny villages. Sheep dogs protect flocks from wolves. It’s something I never dreamed existed in Europe. I’ll resume my political stuff when I return in time for Independence Day.
The Latin work for rock is "petrus". When Christ appointed Simon to bring the gospel to the gentiles, he said to him "You are Petrus (Peter), and upon this rock I will build my church" That's how Simon came to be called Peter.
This has got to be one of the most hilarious summaries of biblical characters that I have ever read. I laughed out loud, so hard-- the best medicine for the insane and creepy times we live in. Thank you so much for this.
Keep commenting on your trek, Glenn! Always interesting... Especially during a historic trip. I consider myself an informed guy, but have never heard of this route. Reading the Bible is on this bucket list; I have tried several times and detoured in frustration....
More than once in the last decade-plus of political insanity I've thought of hiking the AT and then maybe just becoming a woodswoman, if only to escape this world.
It's either that, or converting to Amish.
Does anyone know if they accept middle aged secular Jews? 🤔

Unique look about the apostles and all of the James'. Even for a journalist.
Trek safely and have an incredible time!

Given my kind of desultory discipleship, I might have been known as the More or Lesser, had I walked the walk. Enjoy your walkabout, mate.
Ah, enjoy your trek!! Sounds fabulous!
