Several folks have commented that they are having trouble with posting
comments on the blog. I definitely want to hear from you as your
comments keep my spirits up on hot, windy, long bicycle rides. The
work around that we have devised (we think it is because some submitters
don't have active Google accounts) is to send your comments to the
email:
sspeer2@comcast.net and Andrea will post them.

Rest is OK!
ReplyDeleteHello dear friend!
We wonder if this is the "wall" that Marathon runners talk about? We are glad you are not alone. Neither Don or I have ever run a marathon, however, those who have always talk about a glorious finish!
Since resuming your journey, we have followed your progress with our Atlas and continued to be amazed at your perseverance. As such, I was reminded of one of my favorite Bible passages about persevering in the Christian faith and wearing the whole armor of God:
Ephesians 6:10-20 New International Version (NIV)
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
We are praying for your continued safe journey and restoration of your strength and health!!
Sending prayers and blessings your way,
Vicki & Don
