It’s “When”, not “If”!

Within my word-of-mouth circle of people, we’ve begun using the word when instead of if with regard to this trek – but the Lord ultimately has the final say, and there are many things (both logistically and externally) that could still put the brakes on. I pray every day that my excitement about this walk will not make me…

Day 7 (Friday) – Home!

(Written from our Friday, July 31 notes after we returned home) We can smell the home fires burning! Even though we were only about 160 miles from home, it took us about 7 hours to get there because there was a lot of freeway-dodging that had to be done. There are quite a few stretches…

(Written from our Sunday, July 26 Day 2 notes – after we returned home) We checked out of our ‘luxury’ accommodations – as Larry threaded the key & the remote control under the glass pane, an invisible hand snatched them on the other side. Freaky. It was Sunday, so we wanted to visit one of…
