Back in the good ol’ glory days of the Roman Empire, there was no shortage of pomp and circumstance. To boast about the achievements of the Empire was ingrained into every single citizen.

Scripture Readings Grace, mercy and peace be to you from God our Father and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen! Way back in 1905, a guy named Frederick Wells conducted a routine inspection of a diamond mining operation that he was managing.

Scripture Readings Grace, mercy and peace be to you from God our Father and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen! You know, without a doubt, one of the worst things in life is moving.  Having to move to a new house or new apartment or new condo or whatever. A new residence. It’s not so bad when you’re young or in the kraft-dinner college stage of life and everything you have fits in the back of a 1992 Nissan Pathfinder.

Scripture Readings Grace, mercy and peace be to you from God our Father and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen! Some friends of ours went on a Roman Catholic pilgrimage known as El Camino de Santiago.  It’s an 800km hike that takes you from France to Santiago de Compostela on the Spanish coast, the place where St. James’ remains are said to be buried.
