In the meantime, the rest of us had gone on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, where we planned to pick up Paul. Paul wanted to walk there, and so had made these arrangements earlier. Things went according to plan: We met him in Assos, took him on board, and sailed to Mitylene. The next day we put in opposite Chios, Samos a day later, and then Miletus. Paul had decided to bypass Ephesus so that he wouldn't be held up in Asia province. He was in a hurry to get to Jerusalem in time for the Feast of Pentecost, if at all possible.
I'm glad that someone took the time to keep a journal and log of these stories. With all the journals that I've kept over the years, some handwritten, some merely e-mail conversations, I hope that one day my story can be documented in as much detail in order for my children and grandchildren and possibly other generations to see where they came from. It's important and as Christians it's important for us to read this history of our faith.
