Hi, I hope you can join me from day to day as I set out on my horse Dakota to ride 3300 miles across this great nation. All in all I will ride through10 states from St. Augustine Florida which is the oldest city in America, through the heartland of the Midwest and then off to Puget Sound Washington. The website will share blogs and pictures as well as links to Facebook, Instagram and Youtube. Videos will update the progress I have made. Following in the rich heritage of the Circuit Riders of old, I will share my experiences with ya'll as I travel from town to town on horseback. Living in the 21st Century is much different than how the pioneers used to live. That same spirit could exist today. I think it just needs to be awakened in us. I hope my ride will inspire and show that all things are possible with God.
Stepping outside my
comfort zone to answer the call
I’m a kid at heart, a fool for the Lord, an average Joe, and a kind-hearted soul. I’d be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord, a broom sweeper on a dusty road, but most of all, a God seeker and a friend. There's no airs about me. What you see is what you get. I tell it like it is, and when I’m done with this go-around, I hope I’ve left you with some inspiration and a spark to get your engine running.
We all need each other to make it through life. We have God's instruction manual, and what I have come to believe is that it's all true every last jot and title. The Bible is not just to read on a Sunday morning; it's God's love letter to us and a compass to lead us home. He wants you to step outside your comfort zone and practice what brings life and hope, not darkness and death. Most find it hard because they are still on the fence with God. Is He really real, and can He be trusted? Some have gotten a raw deal in life and have grown bitter, and they may think life is just some kind of cruel prank played on them, a nightmare that you can't wake up from.
Life does have its challenges, but rest assured, it's all for a higher purpose. God asks us to have courage, fortitude, perseverance, and guts to get up each day and trust that, somehow, some way, He will make a way. He will work with us despite the mess we make of things. Many times, we don't know.
3,300 hundred miles on a horse, are you crazy! How long is it going to take you? Not long, a little over seven months or so, is what I’ve told my wife and kids with their mouths agape. What! You have kids. You're 63! Haven't they already left the nest? Nope, I'm the proud father of Wyatt, my son, Ollie, my daughter, and my 8-year-old named Maddie, who's my sidekick. I told her I was going on this extended journey for God, and she looked at me in the car and said, "You had me at God,” with a thumbs up. Are you scared? Not really. The worst things in life are not always the worst things in life. Sure, I could get shot and become roadkill, but death to some is life to others. Going out in a blaze of glory is quite the exclamation point in a person's life. Mind you,
I would rather be a living sacrifice for God than a dead one. God, are you hearing that?
"3,300 miles on a horse?
Are you
crazy!"
Lessons of Life: Things
I've Learned, Moments I Cherish.
Life can be long and uneventful at times, but waking up to the reality that God loves You and desires only the very best for your life is a game changer. Sometimes we mistake boundaries as obstacles to a happy life. This is not the case. Boundaries are to protect us because, despite what we may think, there are unforseen dangers in this world. If we follow God's instructions in life we will indeed begin to live the abundant life that He promised. Stay on the tracks and trust in His bountiful providence and occasionally get off and look around, you might be pleasantly surprised.

A Yarn of Anecdotes to Teach and Amuse
CORE BELIEFS
Everyone has core beliefs that guide and direct their lives. Each day we walk these beliefs out whether or not we truly believe them. It's good to reflect on the foundation we stand upon. Some build their houses on solid ground, while others on shifting sand. A rock foundation is a biblical principle and it's probably wise to pay attention to what God states in the Word as truth and not take from all kinds of religions you can get your hands on. One day you might be standing on truth and then as you walk on a brittle, unstable piece of your foundation you will fall through because it's made up on lies. Actions have consequences and when the storms of life come you may find that everything you valued has been wiped clean because all was based on a lie. The devil is the father of lies and delights when people listen to him.
Taking spiritual inventory is a good place to start. Do you know without a doubt where you will spend eternity? It's worth asking yourself these hard questions. It's something you can do in private. Take the time to pray and ponder on where you stand with God. It's not about works or religion, but a relationship based on the belief that God does exist despite what all the naysayers like to preach. For them it's a way to soothe their own conscience. Remember, you can't give God some lame excuse on judgement day. Either you believe in the truth or you don't. There's no scape goat in heaven who you can stick all your sins to. The whole reason why God sent His Son was so that sins could be taken care of here on earth. Make time to know God and in the end He will welcome you into His kingdom. You won't regret it.
What I believe in.
-
God is a loving Father, a faithful Son and a Holy Spirit that was given to those who believe in God.
-
God's word is supernatural and much deeper than we could ever imagine. Those who read it will be transformed as long as they truly believe it and walk it out.
-
There is a heaven that is created by God and when we pass on into the spirtual realm it will be our true home filled with God's love. There is no sin, no darkness, no pain or despair.
