This came from a friend, Rebecca, who with her husband Brian was at Fred Meyer’s, a local department store recently. She shared this on Facebook and after reading it, I asked her if I could share it on this blog. She is a woman with a deep love for Jesus and a simple desire: to…

“What Embraces”
A couple weeks back now, I published #metoo. It brought up plenty of pain for me as I wrote it, even though I have done a ton of healing. It brought up some pain for people who read it. One person’s story sometimes does that! My love to those that hurt! I find it is amazing…
#metoo
I was speaking with some beloved colleagues last week about the whole #metoo phenomenon and how many people have facebooked #metoo, how the “People of the Year” are those who first courageously told their stories, and how this has overflowed into more people having the courage, to tell the truth about abuse currently happening. Even…
Day 31-32 – Miraz to Sobrado dos Monxes and on to Arzúa
I awoke at 2 in the morning and chatted with my family back home a bit and worked on my blog post. I have a ways to go. Fell asleep at 4 and awoke at 6. Up and out after breakfast at 710 and pushed myself. Made 10 km in 2 hours. The terrain was…
Day 14 – Guemes to Santander
I awoke at 430 am. Climbed down from my upper bunk in the dark, landed on my aching, complaining feet, gathered my backpack, sleeping bag, stuff sack, etc and made my away around my eleven sleeping roommates, walked outside onto the balcony and followed that to the large room where we had had our evening gathering the…
Day 13- Santoña to Guemes
Received in prayer August 31: “Son– I am ending this month with a promise I wish you to hold onto. A word which I, not you, will fulfill. You will see what I long for and experience what I am doing. You will walk with my powerful love. You will experience my light. I will walk…
Day 7 — Monasterio de Zenarruza
We all awoke early, around 6. It was dark still. I sliced the baguettes left by the monastery for the breakfast (snack) and the packets of hot chocolate, instant coffee and the container of milk on the table outside on the still dark balcony. The only way to heat up the milk was in the…
Day 6– Izarbide to Monasterio de Zenarruza
I read the scriptures for the day and this one from Ezekiel jumped off the page, where God speaking to Ezekiel had said, “Son of Man, let all my words sink deep into your own heart first. Listen to tthem carefully for yourself. Then go to your people, saying, This is what the Sovereign Lord…
Day 3 — Irun to Oreo
Today August 22nd was our 35th wedding anniversary and we were so many miles apart from one another while I walked and walked and walked this path. I had planned to take this day easy. It was 10+ km from Irun to San Sebastián. The route began with the steep climb up the stairs and switchback path to…
Day Two Irún to Pasajes de San Juan/Pasaia Donibane
I stepped off the bus in Irún with all the emotions — excited, scared, uncertain, like stepping into the unknown, and knowing the trip back to Bilbao on foot would take the next week. I wandered a bit, finally finding my first arrow. Seeing it caused my heart to rejoice, perhaps like the wise men…
