If you’ve been following this flog for a while, you know that this is one of my favorite hymns–To Be a Pilgrim, by John Bunyan, sung by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
As I plod through the obstacles thrown up against me by this day–don’t ask!–it put me in mind of this hymn. Keep on plodding, fellow pilgrims.
Yes, we need all the encouragement we can get. “think it not strange…”
It is not strange that we are afflicted, but it is still difficult.
Thank you for this song
“To Be a Pilgrim” is one of my favorite hymns,too.
I like this documentary about John Bunyan found on Youtube. In this 30-minute video an actor dictates by memory a good message by John Bunyan. Please watch it if you can spare 30 minutes, it’s a great message:

Yes, for those who haven’t gotten it, you have to go to that post from yesterday, “John Bunyan’s Hymn.” That’s where you can see Joshua’s video.
