I love Pray as You Go. What an encouragement His Word must be to you — so clear that He is with you. Love to you from all the Egges.

Jim, Psalm 118:24 helps me when I’m wondering what God’s will is for me: “This is the day the Lord hath made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

I am personally so inspired by you all! Your courageous journey is so much more than anyone will ever dream of being able to experience. That alone is a gigantic accomplishment in itself:) Blessings to you!

We live in a world of “human doers” instead of human beings. Your friend is correct in my opinion. Live out of your heart. Just be. Really, that is good enough, Jimmy. Your kids don’t have to “do” something for you to love them. The same goes for you. Just be as you are. You are loved by God as you are. Pass that on. It’s a gift. A bientot. (I love France!)

Yup! It’s the Northern VA conundrum Johnny K always talks about – the pressure to DO something, be productive, EARN it. But God’s “grace is sufficient for you” each day and who knows, He may possibly have a whole different agenda. Keep listening to those echoes!

jim, as food for your contemplation, consider those of us that are emotionally and spiritually (although not physically) with you folks on this marvelous journey. Your courage and dedication to journey on this experience keeps many of us engaged with you. Keep up the good work and don’t fret about anything other than making the most of what you already have begun.

Interestingly, we read the same scripture today here at Mount Jefferson Presbyterian, followed by a segue to Jesus feeding the 5000. One takeaway message was that we need to recognize the miracles we see daily – something I think you Wildmans are doing. The other message is that the miracles themselves are not the point; the point is believing in the One who causes the miracle.
