Our hopes are that we will start blogging again and quit being sooo lazy. Lol! </div><div><br></div><div>We still haven't written our book or done any videos or much else that we should have. BUT we have become grandparents, purchased a large camper and truck, embarked on many career opportunities, taken 1000's of photos and seen all but 5 states. So why not share our experiences with others?</div><div><br></div><div>We will share some stories, photos and of course some wonderful memories that have made us who we are. We hope to help others who are considering a life on the road and encourage others through our travels and faith.

Now, we are heading back to Nebraska to
visit more with family and go on another Christmas vacation. So we
always look ahead to see if there is anything we want to see that is
not tooooo far out of the way. Well a days drive is never too far. We
mapped it and found some good barbecue and a couple of National Parks.<br>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
First stop, Congaree National Park. I
must admit I had never heard of Congaree and I sure didn't know South
Carolina had a national park. They do have one and it is worth
visiting if you like natural wet lands and swamps like we do. We were
both raised around areas like this with gators and mosquitos and
birds galore. Most of the trails were closed due to flooding and even
the boardwalk was not immune to nature's wrath. The interpretive
center is top notch and well worth the visit. We were also glad to
see the Mosquito Meter was at all clear.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Next stop, Barbecue! Anyone who knows
us knows that I (Chris) am a meat eater. Of course I try to balance
this, but not at a barbecue place. Jennifer kept telling me of a
great place in South Carolina to eat some good barbecue. Well we
found some at Maurices BBQ Piggie Park in Columbia, SC. It was
perfect BBQ. The brisket was juicy and tender and the hash was out of
this world good. If in Columbia I would recommend getting some of
this BBQ.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
So after getting our bellies full of some good grub we were off to our next destination, The Great Smokey Mountains National Park and Pigeon Forge, TN. I was going to include that in this post, but after some consideration I decided it deserved its own post. So goodbye for now and may all your journeys be as blessed as ours. Happy Traveling. </div>

Don't worry, I will not cut anyone short on this section of our journey. This will be a longer blog than normal. Now off to South Carolina from Branson, MO. We headed to South Carolina to visit more family and friends. We headed south through Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia before getting to South Carolina. Why? Diamonds, baths and the Natchez Trace.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"> First stop, Hot Springs National Park, Hot Springs, Arkansas. We have been to Hot Springs before, but it has been over 17 years ago. So, we decided why not make another trip. Hot Springs NP seems different than other National Parks I have been to. It seems to be out of place, almost like it should be on the National Mall in D.C. instead of in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas. This was only a stop on our way to another place though. Our main goal for coming this way was to, Dig for Diamonds!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Can you really dig for diamonds? Yes you can, at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, Arkansas. We have wanted to come here for many years, but have never made the trip. Kind of hard to believe since I lived in Arkansas for over 20 years. Well, we made it......, but we did not get to dig for diamonds. That's right, we came but we did not dig. See it started raining on us when we left Branson, MO and it didn't stop for 5 days. So, this part of the trip got really soggy and literally put a damper on our plans.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"> Another bucket list item we have tried to complete for some time is to drive the Natchez Trace Parkway. This is a NPS property that extends 440 miles from Natchez, MS to Nashville, TN. It is great for biking and even hiking. There are no commercial vehicles allowed so it is a peaceful drive with many, many stops along the way. UNLESS.....it is nonstop raining. We didn't really get to enjoy this as much as we wanted, but we did get to drive 200 miles of the Parkway. </span> <br />

so I mentioned we were headed to South Carolina to visit family and
friends. I am sure you noticed the picture at the top of this blog.
This is one place we visited while there. It was a really nice place
to spend a sunset. While there we spent time with Jennifer's brother
and family, and Katlyn and Zac, and Zac's family. We were so happy to
finally see some sunshine after all of the rain that followed us. We
got to spend some quality time with family and we hunted shark teeth,
walked on the beach and enjoyed some really nice bike riding. Well I
will finish here with a group of pictures, and a promise of more
chapters of our travels to come. Happy Travels</span></span></div>

who we found in Branson, Missouri, well we actually met them there
for our annual family vacation, This has been a tradition for our
family for many years now. We decided not to participate in the
hustle and bustle of Christmas gift giving when our daughter was a
young child. It was then we made the decision to make memories
every Christmas season for as long as we can. So this is our vacation
for Christmas 2018 in Branson, MO. </span></span></span></div>

Or whatever time it is where you are. It is time to be back on the road and have some fun and relaxation. We have a busy 2 or 3 months planned so maybe we will have time to blog, who knows. Well we have left Colorado and headed to Nebraska and then down to Missouri and Arkansas. Not much relaxation yet, but I know we will have some one of these days. So lets get started!<br />
<br />
Ok so first I will talk about our mode of transportation. We have had a Subaru Outback for a couple of years, but we were still having to tent camp or rent lodging since we travel mostly in the colder months. So we bought us a teardrop camper that would not limit us on destinations. This is the Outback edition. Funny huh? We wondered if we should change our blog to Outbacking Believers. LOL!</div>

I have always loved travelling across the Midwest. The wide open prairies and beautiful sunrises and sunsets always seem to amaze you no matter how many times you see them. The people are some of the nicest you will meet, and the wildlife is always in abundance. I have heard some people say how boring it is to drive across Kansas and Nebraska. Well, I wonder if they ever stop and look at the beauty that is around them, because there is beauty everywhere. Imagine setting your cruise control 5mph under the speed limit. Stopping at all of those little brown signs along the way and actually enjoying the trip more than the destination. This is travelling.<br />

I know, we haven't blogged for an entire year? Well I have a whole bunch of excuses, but the truth is we have just been lazy and life happens. Oh did I mention we have been busy? Katlyn married the love of her life and that took a toll on us. Lol We have talked about blogging though if that counts for anything. Well anyway we are back on another road trip and enjoying each day as if it was our last. Here are some photos of the last year, then I will move on to what we have going on now.<br />

Hello to all, and Happy Spring! We said
we would start traveling on December 1<sup>st</sup> and we did until
now. Again we have seen some amazing things and we have met some
amazing people also. Oh yeah, and KatyDid got married!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Well, I think I will have to break up
this blog up in to multiple parts, since we have seen so much. So
here we go.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We started out by going to one of our
favorite places for Christmas, Branson, MO. We started by going to a
few shows. First the Dixie Stampede where to food is always great and
the action is even better. Second we went to the Sight and Sound
theater where the play the Miracle of Christmas was showing. If you
have not been to a Sight and Sound theater before, you should put it
on your bucket list now. Then of course we went to Silver Dollar City
where there are shows behind every door, and roller coasters to ride
between them. Silver Dollar City is an 1800's themed park with people
dressed in period dress and others preparing the most amazing food,
which fills the park with the smells of pure bliss. Did I forget to
mention that the park was called the most illuminated park on earth
by USA Today. It has over 12 million lights. We finished up our visit
by going to SIX and finally taking a dinner cruise on the Showboat
Branson Belle.</div>

Now the trip back to Colorado via
Minnesota, South Dakota and Wyoming simply because we had not been to
these states yet. So, we finally made it to Mt. Rushmore and the
Badlands of South Dakota. Absolutely Awesome! I am sure the Badlands
are nice in the Summer but in the winter with snow on them they were
Outstanding. The bighorn sheep and Barbary sheep were like pets
almost. We almost had both parks to ourselves also because not too
many people go to these places in the winter. I will stop this
section here and pick back up in January.</div>

The Great Salt Lake</div>
<br />
<br />
It is TRAVEL time again! We don't officially go on vacation until 12/01, but we did have to make a quick trip to Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City is a unique place and a beautiful place. We surely enjoyed the shopping and visiting the LDS historical sites, and the people were pretty friendly. Here are some pics of our quick trip.<br />

I can't believe it is already February
2017! It seems we have not been keeping up our blog very well,
because the last post was almost a year ago. It has now been almost 3
years since we started our walk across America and 16 months since we
finished it. Wow, how time flies! Well, we have been busy with many
things, such as finishing the season at the Bar NI ranch in
Stonewall, CO. After the season was finished in late November, 2016
we decided to travel again, but this time in a car.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We ended up traveling over 16,000 miles
through 15 states! We visited Branson, MO and Silver Dollar City
during Christmas time. Silver Dollar City alone has over 5 million
lights and 1000 trees decorated for Christmas! This has been a family
tradition for many years,

We also visited the Henry Doorly Zoo in

are ever near Omaha it is well worth the visit. We visited many
cities including, Savannah, GA, St, Augustine, FL and New Orleans,
LA. We spent a week in Walt Disney World and a day on Avery Island,
LA where Tabasco hot sauce is made. We have been on beaches in
Galveston, TX, Pencacola, FL, and Daytona, FL. We have touched and

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Well the title of this blog post says it all. We are taking on a new adventure for the Summer and Fall of this year. We as a family are moving to the high mountains of Colorado. We will be living at 8500 feet on the border of Colorado and New Mexico. We will be living in the Sangre De Cristo mountains.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> We will be working on a private ranch that ranges from 8000' to above 14,000'. We will be taking out guided hikes through the alpine forests, taking out trail rides on horseback, cooking wild game, jeep tours, elk hunts, fishing trips, farming and putting up hay and lots of hospitality, good food and making memories.</span><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are excited about the new challenges and the new adventures before us.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> On Katlyn's Lyme's disease, we already have Katlyn lined up with Lyme's doctors. She will be starting a natural treatment of herbs and vitamins and immune boosters. Please continue to pray for her and of course all of our family.We will be posting weekly updates and stories of what we have been doing.We hope that we will be a witness to all we meet. This is new territory for us and we can not wait for this adventure to start. Please stay tuned and watch for updates and photos of this upcoming part of backpacking believers.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Please continue to pray for our family. If you want to learn more about where we are going or what we are doing please call or email us.</span><br />

<span style="color: #1f4e79; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #1F4E79; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: lumm=50000; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: accent1; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 128;"> It has been hard watching
our daughter who has always been active and smiling go through the harsh
struggles of Lyme’s Disease. When she was 8 years old and we were in the
mission field working at SIFAT in Alabama, she was bitten by a tick then and was
very sick. Then doctors in Alabama said there was no such thing as Lyme’s Disease
in our area and that she had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, which is another
form of tick disease. We now have learned that she may have contracted Lyme’s
then and was misdiagnosed. We have been to many doctors since Katlyn was bitten
in Ohio on our walk across America, in July of 2014 during another mission
trip. It seems as though when people are trying to step out on faith and spread
the words of the Lord to others, satan is there ready and waiting to attack, to
destroy and even to try to break you and stop you. Our family and our daughter
have overcome his attacks and it has only strengthened our faith in God. We
will not be stopped or defeated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f4e79; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #1F4E79; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: lumm=50000; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: accent1; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 128;"> I have watched our
daughter go from waking up singing to waking up crying some days. I have
watched her walk 25 miles up and over mountains and conquer them to some days
not being able to walk around a ¼ mile track in the park without having to sit on
a park bench and rest. This breaks my heart and it makes me feel helpless. Anyone
who is a parent can relate to how this feels. We are working hard at trying to
find the answers and the right treatments for, Katlyn. This for now is our new
walk, a walk for a cure for Katlyn. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #1f4e79; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #1F4E79; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: lumm=50000; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: accent1; mso-themecolor: accent1; mso-themeshade: 128;"> We have been to the best
hospitals in Texas and have seen great doctors but no results. Katlyn has been
in and out of the E.R. every month since completing our mission walk. She has
had tons of lab work, x rays, EKG, echo cardio grams, fluids, spinal tap/
lumbar puncture, soon physical therapy, antibiotic therapy and much more. All
of this and much more only to find out that insurance will not cover the
treatments that the Infectious Disease Specialist says she needs next.
Insurance will not pay for Lyme’s Treatments of any kind, anywhere in the
world. We have been researching different states and even different countries
for a cure. We need your prayers and your support for Katlyn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

a Grand Slam, this is when you hike all of the major trails. She wanted to hike
the A.T., P.C.T., C.D.T. and the one we just finished. Only a handful of people
have ever done this. She is currently the youngest in the world to have
completed the America Discovery Trail. I believe in our daughter, she has hopes
and dreams and I believe that this is a way and if it is God’s will she will
complete her dream. Katlyn is an inspiration to so many people young and old.
Her smile lights up the world and brightens the faces of the hurt and the lost.
She is a mighty warrior of our Lord, Jesus Christ. She is strong and bright.
She is our heart and love. She is a child of God.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to all who have it and to the ones that love them. Lyme’s Disease is still
that, just a disease. We believe in Jesus and we have faith that He will find a
cure and that He is the cure for all sickness. We will not let satan break us
down. Katlyn; when she found out she got Lyme’s, she continued her walk in
Love. Katlyn was strong and said that she was not going to let a little
parasitic tick stop her from sharing the Love of Jesus to everyone. So, she
didn’t, she made it and won and she will again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We will
win for Katlyn! We will win for others just like Katlyn. We need your prayers
and support as we go forward with this race and walk in our future. We will be
posting updates on treatments and even expenses needed and so on. We will be
posting education and Lyme’s information for all of you so you can protect
yourselves and your family form this disease. Katlyn is still strong, beautiful
and a light to the world and to all she meets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #385723; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> It has been some time
since we have written an update on where we are and what we have been up to
since completing our walk in Love. We are sorry that we have been so busy that
we have not kept everyone up to date. So here is why we have been so busy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #385723; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> A couple of weeks before
we completed our Walk in Love across America we spoke with a dear friend of
ours on the phone and was informed they had stage 4 cancer and would be going
to Houston, Texas for treatments. This was a hard thing to receive, as it would
be for anyone hearing this news about someone they know or care about. We
continued our walk in love and continued to pray for the Lord’s guidance. When
we completed our walk in Denver, Colorado, we drove to Nebraska to spend time
with our family and to regroup with reality and life off the trail. What a
large adjustment our lives were getting ready to go through.</span><span style="color: #385723; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> Wow, How quickly life
changes! </span><br />
<span style="color: #385723; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> One
would think that one would be excited to be back in a warm or cool house with a
bed and running water at the touch of your fingers. One would think that
sleeping in with no plans for the day would be wonderful, but is it really? Life
for us has been a hard adjustment. When you are out on a long walk, long trail
or mission trip it changes you in many ways. On the walk we would wake up and
pack up our entire house and move each day. We would see new places and meet
new people daily and we had to rely completely on God for guidance and the
strength to just walk. In life now you live going through the motions of a work
routine or daily schedule, same routine different day. You do not have to have
a strong faith just to make another step up a mountain. You need faith to get
through the day but not like the kind of sold out faith where all you have is
God to help you make another step, to guide you with His word to tell someone
that does not know Him the right scriptures to lead them. Here in this life we
are in now we get up, make breakfast, dishes, routine, work, children, school
etc.Our life then was grab a cold Cliff bar with no taste and eat for survival,
hot water with no ice, and walk to an unknown new place and talk to strangers
along the way and pray and talk to God for direction, complete direction in
your life. We walked in all weather conditions, no matter what. We had God and
each other and HE cared for us daily. We did not care for ourselves daily, God
cared for us and met our needs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #385723; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> We are now in Houston,
Texas taking care of our friend with cancer, I mentioned early. We have gone
from the serenity quietness of the wilderness to a concrete jungle. We have moved
to the middle of 6.5 million people whom are all in a huge hurry blowing their
horns and have no patience. You have to wait in lines at the grocery stores
just to look at the lettuce for a salad. It has been a stressful change on our
family and we have learned even more about our own relationship with God and
people. We are here cooking for our friend and going back and forth to chemo
treatments and on the side we are talking to all of the homeless here .and all
of the different kinds of people .We are biking around 20 miles a day for exercise
through this concrete jungle while trying not to get run over by a car. We are
still sharing the Love of Jesus with all we meet, homeless or not, cancer
patients or not, impatient people and friendly people. It has been difficult
adjusting for us to “NORMAL” life but we miss the “NOT SO NORMAL” life daily.
Our walk in the wilderness of NOT knowing what is next around the corner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #385723; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Please continue to pray
for us and we are continuing to pray for ALL of you and Thank you ALL for your
help along our walk. We have had our own setbacks lately and have been dealing
with those as they come. Katlyn and her Lyme’s Disease has been a huge issue in
her life and ours. She needs everyone’s prayers and help for her treatments. Encouraging
words and thoughtful calls and prayers would be greatly received. The Lyme’s
has taken a hard toll on her physically and emotionally. It is hard for us to
watch the youngest in the World to walk across America on the ADT and now be in
pain and fight sickness from a little tick. We will post more about her
treatments and updates on her health. As well as on Lyme’s disease itself and
what we are doing in the future. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #385723; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Please keep us ALL in your
thoughts and prayers. We love you ALL dearly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We are glad that we accomplished such a feat, and sad that it is over. As for now we will continue to try and find local places outdoors to spend as much time as possible until we decide what is next. We are trying to adapt back into what is called a normal life here in America, and it comes with struggles. We miss meeting new people every day. We also miss seeing new places every day. We will be back in Alabama by November 15th Lord Willing after a detour through Texas to visit some friends(family).<br />
<br />
Today we spent some time at Schramm Park in eastern Nebraska. We were out looking for some fall colors and were blessed with a few. The trail had some much needed hills and a really nice suspension bridge. This is at an old fish hatchery and it also has an aquarium. Keep an eye out we will be blogging our entire trip home. Lord Bless<br />

We have under 250 mile left, the leaves are changing and the temperatures are nearing the freezing mark. Colorado is still at the top of our list of the greatest states and it never seems to amaze us. The heart pounding uphills and knee pounding down hills push you beyond what you once believed your limits to be. We have learned though experience now the extreme effects of high altitude and true back country living. We have seen some of the most beautiful country in the entire world and have loved every minute of it. Here are a few pictures of what we are seeing and where we are. Hope you enjoy. More to come.

We are in Utah and it is amazing. We have met many amazing people and we have seen things we could have only imagined before. Utah's state motto is Life Elevated and we have to agree. We will just let the pictures speak for us. We still have approx. 275 mile left in Utah and we can't wait to see what Utah has to show us. <br />

We will actually be heading south for a while and then west and then north and so on. We have finished Nevada and are somewhat different people now. Walking across Nevada will change anyone to some point. The land is so diverse yet monotonous. You walk through valleys that you can see the end, but you do not know if you will ever get there. It may take a couple of days to get to the next mountain range. You can walk 50+ miles and find an old roadhouse that has a café, bar, camping, gambling and a couple of rooms for rent, or you might not find anything for 80+ miles, not even water. Most of the people you meet are fellow travelers with various methods of transportation. Some are cyclists, motorcycle riders, rvers, and car drivers. Some are crossing the country, crossing Nevada and some are just travelling around this country with no certain path. We all had one thing is common though when we met. We were happy to meet other travelers in the middle of nowhere. We have been greeted with much kindness from many people from Nevada and we have received some other types of greetings also. Nevada is not a place for the faint of heart. It gives you a glimpse of what it must have been like in the wild west to have traveled out here for gold and land. We have been through sandstorms, thunderstorms, sweltering heat and frigid temperatures. We have climbed to over 10,000ft elevation and descended to under 4,000ft elevation. We have seen elk, deer, pronghorn antelope, rattle snakes, weasels, and a mad cow on the verge of death defending her calf. We have seen eagles, hawks, jack rabbits and lizards, lizards, lizards, even a horny toad. Nevada is a rugged, wild, beautiful place and we will always remember our walk across Nevada. <br />

The Sierras are absolutely amazing! They tested us a little, but it was worth it. The beauty cannot be completely captured in pictures, because you can't smell and feel the air that surrounds you. We ascended and descended through meadows, across streams and over peaks. We have seen turkey, deer and even a bear among many other small animals. We walked in snow and along the banks of Lake Tahoe. There is no way we could put everything into one post so here are some pictures of our Sierra adventure.</p>

We have been walking through the Delta of California and it was beautiful. There was not a hill to be found except for the levies we were walking on. We hiked through this flat wetland paradise all the way to Sacramento. Then we picked up a bike trail that took us back and forth across the American River and back into the hills and finally the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. This is very exciting to us as we have never been here and hiking the unknown is always an adventure in itself. We have already seen many species of wildlife that is unfamiliar to us and it looks like we will see much more in the near future. We might get to see a mountain lion or even some bears. We will definitely be challenged like never before physically and mentally as we enter wilderness areas where people will be more scarce. One thing that has surprised us is that we continue to see people even in the wilderness areas, so we hope this will continue with summer starting soon. Remember that is why we chose this trail over all the others, because of the people we get to meet and share the Love of God with them. We would like to encourage all of you to also remember that we are to show love to everyone, no exceptions. So go show love and kindness to someone you wouldn't normally do that to. Lord Bless</p>

We are walking west to east this time and headed back to Denver where we left off in November. Today we arrived in Oakland,  California after taking a ferry across the bay from San Francisco. This ferry is on the trail if anyone is wondering.☺ We arrived in San Francisco on April 30th and we started walking on May 2nd at Limentour beach at Point Reyes national seashore. We were expecting some hills and not being able to get supplies for a couple of days, but we were not as prepared as we thought we were. The hills were mountains and it took more than a couple of days to get to a resupply place. It just goes to show that no matter how experienced you think you are you can still make bad choices. We are just backpacking this time, no carts so we cannot carry extra anything. Here are some pictures of our first 5 days. We will try and keep the blog up more for everyone who does not have Facebook.</p>

Greetings to all,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well it is Spring and the weather is wonderful here in Nebraska with the highs in the 60's and 70's. Of course we have hiking on our minds as we prepare for the next part of our Walk in Love Across America. We have been making preparations all winter for this and now it is almost here. We just got back from Denver and Boulder, CO where we became certified in Wilderness First Aid through NOLS (national outdoor leadership school) and the Wilderness Medical Institute. In December we also became Red Cross CPR, First Aid, AED, Lifeguard certified. We hope we never have to use any of this training, but if we do need it we are well prepared. We have been working on the logistics of the walk and deciding what gear will work again and what needs to be replaced. Lord willing we will catch a train for San Francisco on April 28th and we will start on the trail on May 1st. We are going to walk West to East and finish again in Denver, CO. This way we can start a little earlier. This is called a flip-flop in the outdoor world. We are asking once more for your prayers as we continue. Lord Bless</div>

<span style="color: #38761d;">Hello Friends, Family, and Fellow Hikers,</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d;"> Happy New Year! It has been some time since we last posted anything on our adventures or what we have been doing lately. Well, here we go......</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"> We are at Camp Comeca in Cozad, Nebraska for the winter. It seems as though this is where the Lord would have us for now and it seems to be where we were needed most. We have been helping with the retreats, groups, kitchen, life guarding and much more. We just had a blessed New Year here at Camp Comeca. The reason behind the title of this blog is because of ALL the children we just had here at Camp.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"> We just had a Holiday Camp for children in the surrounding areas that might not have been getting much for the Holiday season. This was a emotional and blessed event to be able to be part of. We had 19 children for 4 days of camp. Most of these wonderful children suffered from behavior issues, emotional needs,broken homes and were on some sort of medications. This is very sad to us to see such gifts from God be in these kinds of situations. The scripture says, Let the little children come unto me.....</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"> Well, these little children came to camp sad, crying , hurting, not trusting anyone, not smiling and needing LOVE, true UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, and that is just what they got from ALL of us here at Camp Comeca. </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"> We began to see tears turn into smiles and fighting turn into laughter and quietness turn into the joys of happy children. We experienced children wanting hugs and love and sibling rivalry turn into sharing and giving. We had devotion everyday and praise and worship times and we all learned to put others before ourselves. We watched as the devotional reading came to life and was being put into action by these little ones. What joy it brought to all of us to see and witness CHRIST's LOVE blossoming in each of these children daily. Through out the week the children would ask questions on the bible and what does humble mean, or what does mercy mean and they would listen. We had many trials and prayed for patience daily but it was all worth it, to see how GOD was moving to melt the hearts of the hurting . We got to to see the scared ones begin to trust and to want love in the return of a hug. This was heartbreaking but touching and the best gift one could ever ask for. What a blessing it was to be part of making a difference in the lives of one of these little children. </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"> We watched children's eyes begin to sparkle when they were in the kitchen making candy for the first time, and when they made pizza for their party or decorated something with their artistic creativity. They saw something they created on their own and it was amazing to see such accomplishment on each of their little faces glowing back at you. We watched as fears fell away as each of them went sledding for their first time down the steep snowy mountain hill and trusting that you to be there to catch them at the bottom. This to me is the true meaning of this season, and that is to show UNCONDITIONAL LOVE to those who need it most. We all could learn a lesson from these children and that is how to truly give love in return and to hug like there is no tomorrow. What a blessing it was to be part of this wonderful gift. Thank you to all of the little children.....</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"> Jesus said, Come unto me..... We should be the example of this for all to see.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d;"> God Bless ALL of the little children!!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d;">In CHRIST LOVE,</span><br />

We are sure many are wondering where we are and what we are doing. Well since the snow stopped us in Denver we have been spending some time in Nebraska. We are wintering at Camp Comeca near Cozad, NE. Our intentions are to stay here until the weather allows us to continue our Walk in Love Across America. We have been able to still meet new people and show the love of Jesus to them. This is of course our main mission in life right now. We will be preparing for our next part of the journey until we are able to continue.

We have enjoyed hiking in the snow. The scenery is always beautiful and it is even light at night. Of course the hills are a little more difficult to ascend and descend but it is still worth it. Just put on more clothes and stay dry.</div>
