Or the course of a lifetime, you got these moments where you have to take a few steps

to get from one place to the other and you got time to think about stuff, the big picture

stuff, like how you got to the place where you're taking these final few steps from the

one place to the other.

I suppose one of those events is a wedding, you walk down the aisle and you take a minute

and if you're a young lady and your dad's walking you down the aisle, it's what you're

both thinking about, like what's ahead, but also how you got here, you walk down the

aisle or file in for a graduation, like man, everything that went into this project and

now here we are, just think about how far we've come.

You get on one of the corners of a casket of somebody you love and care about and you

escort them to their final physical resting place.

While those steps are being taken, you think about how we got here, where we've been,

all the stages in the journey, all of those memories and everything else.

And I got a sneakins suspicion that in Matthew chapter 21, as the disciples and Jesus

and a couple of guys who were formally blind and now aren't and then entourage in general

are making their way up this difficult hike, 17 mile journey.

I think it is from Jericho up the hill into Jerusalem.

I'm guessing that people are shooting the breeze and talking and thinking about stuff,

but I'm guessing that as Jerusalem comes into focus on the horizon, people aren't exactly

this kind of thinky place.

Where did this start?

How did we get here?
