15-131

Mile 364.  Tortoise is about to the end of his 10 day supply of antibiotics and the coughing is mostly gone now, for which he is very thankful!  He was preparing to try to break back in to walking by doing a simple mile then returning home.  But the weather turned windy and damp, unusual for the desert, although
welcome.  The no walk streak is now 8.  Lou will try again to break that streak on the morrow.

 And now for today's thought, initially presented in April 1998:


“Behold, we count them happy which endure” (James5:11).
"Examples of faithfully enduring to the end are taught by prophets of all ages as they demonstrate courage while enduring trials and tribulations to carry forth the will of God. Our greatest example comes from the life of our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. When suffering upon the cross at Calvary, Jesus felt the loneliness of agency when He pled to His Father in Heaven, “Why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matt. 27:46). The Savior of the world was left alone by His Father to experience, of His own free will and choice, an act of agency which allowed Him to complete His mission of the Atonement."

The tortoise is smiling!

    The big gap is sad, because there were some terrific walks in March and April. I have the pictures and the stats, just have to do the writing. I'm thinking of going with weekly highlights posts and see if I can sneak it past the ever vigilant watchdogs at the Boredom Committee ...
