New beginnings, new paths...

On this mist-shrouded Sunday, up in Mussoorie, smack in the middle of September, we are about to make another set of new beginnings.

A new path has opened up for us.  New vistas about to be seen.  The potential for something quite different to what we have lived in before.

Like the sidewalk that ran ahead of me (in the picture above) on a morning walk in down-town Indianapolis.

Tonight we have our 'going down day' - but not the end of term holidays in the haylcon days of boarding school.  Instead Sheba and I leave tonight on the night train to New Delhi - and then catch the Samata Express tomorrow morning and wind our way 33 hours across the country to Vishakapatnam.  There our friends from the Asha Kiran Hospital will pick us up by jeep and drive us up the Eastern Ghats to our new home and place of work in the Koraput district of Odisha.

Yes gentle readers.  Our latest stage of our pilgrimage is for us to be joining what God is doing at the Asha Kiran Hospital in Lamtaput, Odisha.

We are thrilled to be joining this intentional community which has been serving the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups of Southern Odisha over the past 27+ years.

Since we left the HBM Hospital in Lalitpur on the last day of May this year, we have been wandering.  Our journeys have taken us near and far - what a blessing to meet some of the most remarkable folks what walk this dear planet of ours.  

Through this Jubilee Year for Sheba and myself, we have continued to experience grace upon grace.

So we go.

Down the mountain and to the next set of hills.

Thanks for being along with us on this next stage of our pilgrim journeys!
