Reporting back!

 I spent four Mondays doing online presentations sharing my travels - and I thought I'd share the videos.   They are also accessible via my church's website, bvfof.org, but they may not continue to be after midyear.   The permanent links are:

• Scotland: Isolation, Highlands and Holy Isle.  
• Italy: The Great Church and the Saints
• Switzerland:Germany - through Wittenberg, and Erfrut and Eisleben. 
• Greece:  Paul and John, a lagniappe, and the ancient world. 

Scotland: Isolation, Highlands and the Holy Isle

 I'm presenting my sabbatical, with photos and talking my way through.  Join me in Scotland, for isolation in Juniper Green, chasing down the Scottish Reformation in Edinburgh and Iona, Hiking at Urquhart Castle, Culloden Battlefield, and Fort William, and spend a week on retreat with the Wild Goose Worship Group on Iona!

Remembering: Video - Band Concert, St. Andrews Scotland

 I am working my way through my photos, journal, blog, etc., and gathering some of the video and photos I took, to share with folks things that I didn't show during the actual Sabbatical. I'll post some little tidbits here as I'm working on my presentations, and I'll post some photo albums after I do the presentations.   Then, lastly, I'll share thoughts about specific experiences and where I go forward once I've done all that other stuff. 

Today: I happened upon a band concert in St. Andrews Scotland, on my second afternoon there, just before meeting my friends for dinner.    Here is a video excerpt from it.   I also have ten songs that I recorded video of.  This is a little bit of "O God, Our Help in Ages Past."  This is the Clackmannan District  Brass.  (https://www.clackmannanbrass.co.uk/)
