Walking Dead

Well today is about 36 C outside. It was very wet starting out and I ended up at 30 km about 7 hours later.  Very foolish.  I ran out of water and became very dry. Never a good idea.  

Then I became the Walking Dead.  Walking like a Zombie looking for water for 7 km.  Finally arrived and learnt a valuable lesson about heat.  

Of course that is when the Holy Spirit spoke.  How often do we serve in ministry very dry and keep going. Then the walking dead ministry begins. Giving with nothing in the tank.  

Powerful illustration but very painful. For the first time, my feet hurt so much, I cried.  Doesn't sound very manly does it. You walk this far and let me say, it hurts. Just like God hurts when we do things on our own without his help. 

On another note, a friend came for visit last night. It was great to see Darin Dees from a neighbourhood church in London! We are both on Sabbiticals.  So good to see him!

Well for supper I had a burger and fries. Pretty good.  Needed that for comfort after today's session of the Walking dead!

Rethinking and probably only 20 km a day going forward. Santiago on Monday. Lots of time! Kathy arrives on Wednesday!

Thanks for reading and drink lots of Living water today my friends! You don't want to be the walking dead! 

Thanks for praying.
