Home by another way

"Because they were warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by another route."    Matthew 2:12  CEB

On this second day of  a new year, I'm pondering going home by another way.  If as faithful writers remind us, God is our true home, and if this word to the Magi is a word come from God to take an alternate route home, and if there are a number of paths to stumble our way home to God ( and I think there are), then here is another way I am traveling this year. 

I am stumbling my way toward God by praying St. Francis' prayer daily.
