Thank you for joining us for our 7 day a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 92 of our Trek. Today we will continue on our Trek as we consider what it means to hike with a limp.
We are recording our podcast from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. Our mower, which has been in the shop for the past three weeks, was returned on Saturday morning, which we were not expecting. While I was able to get some of the woodwork in the formal dining room stripped, since it was such as nice day out, I spent several hours mowing. We have not had much rain in Ohio for the past month, so the grass was not too far out of hand. But, there were some areas that had become quite long after a month of not being mowed. It was great to get outside and enjoy the time.
Yesterday we looked at the story of Jacob when he wrestled with God and his name was changed to Israel. Although God’s original call to start a new nation was to Jacob’s grandfather Abraham, with Jacob, who is now Israel, the new nation started to take shape. If you missed the story of Jacob’s wrestling match, please listen to Day 91 on iTunes or Wisdom-Trek.com to get caught up. This wrestling match left Jacob with a limp that he would be inflicted with the remainder of his life as a reminder of being set apart to prepare for and build this new nation.
As we head out to explore new trails today, we realize that it will be very difficult to take this strenuous hike with a permanent limp or other disability, so we will have to be prepared for the journey....
