Prep work and packing up

My man Mike and yours truly
The Lord has sent me to bring good news to the poor, to proclaim release to the captives.
                                                                                Luke 4:18-19

Mike Riche (pictured with me) is taking over my church duties while I'm on my trek. He has given me many helpful applications in developing my computer skills. 

My estimated date of departure has been moved to 5 September, 2011. Thanks for your concern.

Today, do not harden your hearts, but listen to the voice of the Lord.

Because the challenge of storing my camper has risen, the start of my trip has been delayed. If anyone is interested in buying my 1983 Toyota Dolphin or better yet helping me store it while I travel please let me know. My phone #1(619)573-9529. I will keep you informed as new issues come and and lingering ones are addressed.

Introduction and Primary Objectives

Mississippi Chameleon

                

Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
                                                                            Mathew 4:4

I'm commencing a 15 month bicycle journey in San Diego, CA that will take me to at least 28 states, and coast to coast. Canada is also in the plans for the spring of 2012 (weather permitting).  If all goes smoothly, I will  return to San Diego for the 2012  Presidential election in November. Camping will be my primary way to rest, however; it's unlikely I'll turn down the opportunity to experience some complimentary clean bedding and a warm shower along the way.

You are welcome to follow me on this blogsite. If  you want  me  to address your questions, concerns, or comments, please be patient and I will do my best to respond appropriately.

I believe in the risen Jesus Christ and feel moved by his Holy Spirit to be a living testament of his love thru my actions, hopes and aspirations in this biking adventure.

I view this tour as a "Proclamation Tour", I believe that Jesus Christ came in the flesh, rose from the dead and through the work of the Holy Spirit is at work in my life and all those who live a life of faith. I want to live a life of thanks. Thanks be to God for giving me a productive body, ambition and the time and resources to do a tour like the one I'm on.

Let me say that I'm subject to change on this trip. Yes, I have goals and objectives for my travels but I also leave room for the possibility of change. It's currently 8/19/2012. I'm in Buffalo, NY now and let me tell you that when I planned this tour, I wasn't planning to be here now. Things change and I hope I can continue to be flexible to change.

I originally planned to complete this tour in 13 months but it's been extended now to 25 months. To be honest with you, I don't know if I'll ever get off the road!
