While we are not going on a long journey to a foreign land on our pilgrimage this Lent, we are planning to walk more around our fair city. The exercise itself is good for our bodies and minds, of course, but the idea of walking with intention, of walking in our city, aware that God is walking with us is also good for our souls.
Each week in your Journey guide book there will be a suggested location to take a walk. You could also find similar places nearer to your home if transportation is an issue. Check out govibrant.org for suggestions of walks all around Cincinnati and to participate in their Million Step Challenge.
In the lobby at Good Shepherd, we invite you to put your thumbprint on the location or locations you walked intentionally that week, whether it was just a few steps and deep
breaths or it was a several-hour odyssey. Perhaps it would be helpful to you to make notes directly on this map of how you’re PUTTING DOWN, LOOKING UP, GOING OUT, TURNING ASIDE, and TAKING UP as you walk.
