The Journey

Bill and Sonya carefully put the loaf of French bread in Bill's backpack and started the long trek up the side of the hill. The sign on the pathway had a picture of a waterfall with an arrow pointing the way. It was mile and a half straight up the hill. As they climbed up the rocky hillside, Bill talked about his experiences during the last few days. Just a week ago, Bill's father had died. After the funeral service, he found a diary by his father's bedside and began working his way through the book, reading about his father's thoughts and ideas.

Mariela Ribera is associate for worship in the Office of Theology and Worship, Congregational Ministries Division, PC(USA). Before coming to Louisville, he served as pastor to churches in the Pacific Northwest.

Jane Rogers Vann is associate professor of Christian Education at Union Theological Seminary and Presbyterian School of Christian Education in Richmond, Virginia.

Read the prayer that Bill inherits with the journal and learn about the role of water in the sacraments and as inspiration for prayer.
