The Ticket Is Paid For

Well friends, I did it! I bought my ticket for London, England and will fly February 27th, Lord willing, to Gatwick airport to begin 8-9 days of reliving history.

I've dreamed of this for over 50 years and now it's coming to pass!

One of the highlights will be a trip from London to Olney to see the Cowper/Newton Museum. Of course John Newton wrote the famed hymn, Amazing Grace and William Cowper (pronounced "Cooper")wrote There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood, which is in my top 10 of all time favorite hymns.

Thanks for your prayers as I plan this trip. I'll be blogging throughout my travels to keep you up to date on what I'm experiencing. Hopefully you'll vicariously take the trip with me.

Stay posted!

and God moves in a Mysterious way - one of my all time favourite hymns.
And yet Cowper died in despair with no visible assurance of faith - a mystery to us.

I can't believe you could possibly need more books - perhaps you should just bring them back for the rest of us! I'll take a dozen Gatsby's hymnals please :o)
