They all told me that I cannot do it, but I know for sure that I can. Age sure has caught up on me, but that doesn't mean I can't walk a few steps to see The Lord. There is a church at the end of this stretch, a very powerful one they say and I want to pray for the life of my ailing wife. People offered me rides and mocked me for wanting to walk a fifty miles all by myself. But, I don't need wheels when I have immense love by my side, determination and my feet.
