I’m a few days ahead of schedule, and I had hoped to give my back a bit more rest after my visit to Dr. Carrico.  However, I still need to walk at least 2 days this week and the weather is predicted to be horrid after tomorrow (which, in our extreme drought conditions, is actually…

This was Day 2 of our Hope Chapel walk – it’s hard to say which day was best, because they were both full of God’s beauty and His beautiful family.  We had almost 100 people over the 2 days who either walked, provided logistical support, or documented the event. Thank you ALL so much –…

Once again, hours of work was lost on today’s blog entry! When will I learn to do the text in Word??? It’s almost 11 p.m., and on one of the most significant days I’ve had on this trek, it’s all gone – right after ‘Saved 10 seconds ago’ and right before ‘Publish’, it’s gone. Poof! Thank…

My son Matt walked with me again today – Part 2 of his Christmas gift! He wanted to fit it into a workday, so early was better. I picked him up at 5:30 a.m. (1-1/2 hours before sunrise) and we drove to Will Rogers State Beach, our end point for the day. Spotlights This Week:…

The skies parted mid-morning yesterday (Wednesday), so I was able to get half of my miles to Will Rogers State Beach done. It’s a lovely rainy day today, but not so nice for walking – and I have flexibility now, so I’ll cocoon at home and put off those last miles till tomorrow as it’s…

I passed the 1500-mile mark today! I’m a day-and-a half ahead, and I thought I’d be giving much of that back today – but not. The rain played itself out in the morning, so I had enough daylight to get 7 miles in this afternoon. No bus here, so Larry joined me to  help with…

Well, almost to the L.A. County line – I’m within a mile… I had the joy of adding 3 new ‘Sole Sisters’: Magnolia, Emily and Jessica walked with me today – all from my church. I enjoyed the sweet fellowship of these lovely ladies! Spotlights This Week: Always: Hope Chapel Missions Charity Spotlight: The Dream Center Church…

Yesterday was such a blessing – I got to walk with our youngest son.  It was a Christmas gift to me, because he knew it would be something I would treasure.  Kudos also to our daughter-in-law Kelsey and our grand-kids for giving up Daddy for a day in order to make it happen! Spotlights This…

After the fourteen-er yesterday, today’s 10 miles seemed rather short. It started with a bus ride where I met a sweet lady who was on her way to the hospital for a cancer check-up – she helped me with my bus connection and I promised to pray for her.

It was supposed to rain this morning but it got ‘er done last night, leaving a mostly cloudy but precipitation-free day for my ‘fourteener’.
