Lots of changes over the past ten months here in Choctaw. Anyone watching me would have been quite sure I was all noise, with little hard reality behind it. Think what you will, but I was being shaped for something.
I did some walking, then longer walking, then running. But the running was just my pleasure, not my real need. In the end, I went back to walking. Then I reacquainted myself with military style marching, but I couldn’t afford to get the really good boots. So I decided to just put up with jogging shoes and kept on walking. I got up to 5 miles, but realized I was getting a little bored with the same old routes around here.
Then it hit me. God has called me to do something utterly crazy. I’m going to wear t-shirts with strongly worded messages about national repentance. The underlying message is here — which I will print up as copies for a handout. I am also going to make a rather large sign I can carry, calling for America to repent. I’m going to start out hiking up and down the main roads here in East County (Eastern Oklahoma County) and gradually move farther west, then south, then north. I’ll try to build out to walking a half-day at a time. I’m pretty sure I can do a couple of hours at a time, which would make nearly ten miles.
I’m going to start small, where I am, and build outward. I’m not sure how I’ll transport myself to the starting points as they stretch farther from home, but that’s not my concern right now. I’m just going to get started. I am utterly certain if the Lord is really behind this crazy stuff, it will prosper on its own. For now, it will probably be every other day, but I hope to get going daily before too long. Reports of all the sign-carrying walks will appear here.
