Yup, I'm behind.

As you can see I have not been posting lately. Not because I have nothing to say but because I have been swamped with the parish merger. It will be a couple more weeks before I post regularly again. I leave tomorrow morning for a two week study trip to Israel. I plan on having posts about the trip as well as pictures when I get back. Our group is composed of 22 clergy of mixed Christian traditions, both make and female. It will be a very interesting trip. Say a prayer for us if you could please. Take care my friends and may God bless you.

And now for something different.

I have received a few e-mails wondering about photos. I am not big on photos of myself and I generally avoid cameras. But I figured it would be okay to start a phot blog and share some pictures of my life. I am starting it off with a few photos from a trip I took in 2003 to visit my friends Katherine and her husband Oliver. They live in Scotland and it was perhaps the most beautiful place I have ever visited. If you are interested, just head over to, web.mac.com/jdgatlin.

I have also added a link in the links part of Scripture Journey.

Peace.
