Monday Morning, June 15

It's now 7:33 am East Coast time, Monday morning, and I am starting the third week of this journey of 10,000 miles going around the US hitting all lower 48 states. I should be close to half done by tonight. We will see. I had a very good night's sleep in the motel and even slept in a little. So far the trip has been lots of adventures with experiences and people. I have had a great time studying and preparing sermons in the evenings and really feel that this has been a major spiritual pilgrimage for me. The biggest challenge has been that I have gotten very lonely without Patty and family and friends, although the alone time has been super refreshing and a key to the spiritual growth. The riding 8 hours every day especially in the heat has been a challenge but is about the same as the grind of preparing for a marathon. We will see what the day holds. I am trusting God for every detail of the day. Stay faithful. I love you, Dee.
