Today we celebrate a man who did not know where he was going, and when he got there, did not know where he was. This should give hope to all of us. Do you find yourself confused today? Going in circles, maybe? Perhaps you don’t know how you landed in the strange place you find yourself? Be of good cheer. Perhaps you will later be celebrated as a great discoverer.
