Our time on Amelia Island is about to come to an end. We stayed on the Intracoastal Waterway in the Fernandina Historic District and enjoyed walking the streets in this area. Many of the homes were built during the Victorian era and have been restored to their former uniqueness. See Ron’s blog. The seafood has been tasty and the nights have been restful. The skies have been blue and the sunsets beautiful. It has been wonderful time to reflect on the convocation that I attended the previous few days.
Bishop Gregory Palmer spoke about the Good Samaritan during Sunday morning worship. Within his well-crafted sermon he highlighted the innkeeper as a metaphor for the church. The innkeeper responded to a need and worked with the Samaritan to take care of the wounded. He trusted that he would be paid in full. We can assume that he might have gone the next step and used his influence in the community to campaign for safer traveling conditions. These words come only from the mental notes that I made, but I seem to keep pondering their significance to the life of this deacon and the church she serves.
