Pioneers

I wonder what it is like to blaze a trail that nobody else has previously walked.

History is full of pioneers. From Alexander the Great to Columbus to Lewis and Clark. People who saw what could be and willingly paid a high price to pursue it.

When we conquered the earth, we moved into space and the 60’s brought us a new breed of pioneer. A new century brings pioneers that reach into cyber-space.

What does it mean for us, as followers of Jesus, and even more specifically, members of the community of Pathways, to be pioneers? To break new ground? To see what could be and willingly pay a price to pursue it?

I wonder what it is like to blaze a trail that nobody else has previously walked.
