I've heard from him since and thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping him out when he arrived at a fairly low ebb by the sounds of it. His blog is http://only9sixty.blogspot.co.uk/ and he mentions your hospitality especially - I will suggest he includes a 'link' to youdnembhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400105115117553848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018985237438196013.post-66604394104843876022013-08-06T15:52:20.930+02:002013-08-06T15:52:20.930+02:00Thank you for sharing your life with us this way. ...Thank you for sharing your life with us this way.

I was prompted to find the Gospel...Hello Rebekah, <br /><br />I was prompted to find the Gospel that would inform me about what happened to the middle eastern rich man who stole his poor neighbour's pet lamb. <br /><br />I was surprised to discover that that this parable harks back to<br />David and God (Nathan) (2 Samuel Chapter 12) in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) wherein David impregnates Bathsheba & has her husband Uriah the Hittite killed by Joab. Not a nice man.<br /><br />And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.<br /><br />https://bible.org/seriespage/david-and-god-nathan-2-samuel-12<br /><br />I'm not sure that Jesus had an opinion about well-off pilgrims taking spaces in the dwindling number of donation-only albergues and refuges, but he did not take kindly to money lenders Herod's rebuild of King Solomon's Temple.<br /><br />Which is why the decision by the Protestant Archbishop of Canterbury to compete with payday lender Wonga is so infra dig.<br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23446228 <br /><br />The best part is that the Church of England has £75000 invested in shares in Wonga‽<br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23459932<br /><br />Such is life!<br /><br />Cordially,<br /><br />Perry<br />Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715633779618461756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018985237438196013.post-484458206786824882013-08-01T16:28:43.527+02:002013-08-01T16:28:43.527+02:00peace-en-able-ing kingdom...yes!

I suppose what a 'rich' pilg like me might do is check in to the Alberge, and tell the Hospitalero that, if the joint fills up, you are prepared to move over to the hotel across the street. But this seldom will happen, in practice I reckon. <br />So just stay and leave an unfairly big tip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018985237438196013.post-79247923875218144482013-07-31T23:27:41.770+02:002013-07-31T23:27:41.770+02:00Reb,

You also give people mental space to rest- an uncommon, and under-appreciated quality these days. I've slept the best sleep there, and felt your connection to the pilgrims and the very special geography there. You've created and maintain what the Jameses of the world need, and deserve.<br />So, in the spirit of your somewhat apprehensive religiousness, God bless!Peterhttp://www.archguitar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018985237438196013.post-20202089646415541982013-07-31T21:10:53.119+02:002013-07-31T21:10:53.119+02:00Ingrid, of course you can!

This article makes my heart smile. I have been getting annoyed with some of the 'pilgrims' on the various forums and have opted out on some - to keep my pilgrim serenity. Love the pictures and love to read your stories.
