Got a late start this morning from Swainsboro. I had to wait till 9:00 am to have my anti-inflammatory prescription filled. By the time I got on the road it was after ten.
Today's walk would have been a 37 mile walk to have any kind of lodging. I came across the Adrian Camp And Conference Center on the map. My sister called while I was In Wal-Mart getting my prescription filled. They told her they could and would accommodate me for the night.
The walk today was an 18 mile walk and took almost 6 hours. There was nothing out there but the same scenery all day. I did come across a convenients store after about 11 miles. Went In and got some peanuts and an orange juice. I met a big group of road construction workers out front. The asked about my walk and were like...really...your going to walk all the way to California. I gave them all a card and invited them to follow my journey.
It was somewhere around 4:00 pm when I arrived at the Camp. Peggy came out and greeted me with a key to a room and asked about the walk and my journey. Then Jeff, her husband came out to greet me also. After arriving at my room and unpacking some things I took a shower. After a bit, I heard a knock on the door. It was Jeff inviting me into their home for a Bible Study. I had a great time and met some wonderful people.
Upon leaving for the night they gave me a few departing gifts for my journey. A daily devotional book and they purchased a wooden cross made by one of the people at the Study for me. I am telling you...for such an uneventful day..Gods had surely blessed me at the day's end. What a blessing to of had our paths cross.
Crossstory.com is the web site yourself can go to if you would like to purchase a cross.
Thank you Jeff and Peggy for all the blessings you were able to pass on to me. God is great!
Just saw you in Dublin, Ga and looked up your blog!! Beautiful thing you are doing. I have loved ones plagued by mental illness as well. I will be following your journey. Prayers and blessings for you.
