The road to Emmaus is a familiar section of Scripture - after Jesus has died and supposedly risen - (there are still some doubters) a couple of his disciples go for a walk - needing a change of scenery perhaps - and they did experience a change, of sorts - a tingly burning sensation as they walked along the road.  Who have you met on the road?  Invited to journey with you?  We all have our path to walk - no one can walk it for you - but they can walk it with you.
