On my mission trip a few weeks ago I went to the Barron Heights Transitional Center in Memphis, TN.  Their mission is to provide the support veterans need to transition into a healthy and prosperous life.  They provide shelter and food, coupled with addiction recovery classes, counseling, and a loving environment that fosters change.  Many of their former residents come back to volunteer and pass on the help they were given to them. The guys I met were super nice and really appreciated the coffee, cookies, oranges and hygiene kits. Thank you to all my supporters that made this happen. This literally would not of happened without your donations. Thank you!

Made it home little after 3AM. Round trip was close to 4,000 miles. 13 states. 3 weeks. Thanks for all your prayers, support, encouragement, comments & likes. You were all with every mile. Not only were you a blessing to me, but you were a blessing to over 200 hundred people that needed to feel the love of Christ. Thank you!!! I can’t wait to hit the road again! June is not going to be soon enough! Oh...came home to a couple of big surprises. People blessed me by purchasing items on  Amazon wish list for June’s trip.

Well of course I had to hit another trail before leaving Pennsylvania. Little narrow mountain trail about 1900 feet up.Video next week. Set arrival time to Beverly after midnight tonight Beverly but it was worth it.
