To all of my friends, my family, and even enemies I have made on this year long trip...
Everyone wants to feel secure. We all want to know what is coming so we can make informed decisions. That is why I am writing this today.
I know that I have not kept up on it for some time, but now is the time to let everyone know what we are up against.
Before I get into all of the things we need to be doing, I will say this, please get a supply of food and water just in case.
Why do I say this? Because we all need to understand some important things that are coming upon the earth.
Am I saying, "the world is going to end"? No. I am saying that our way of life may be in danger. If I am right, after all I have been seeing, and reading about, and watching, then we need to make sure we get our lives correct.
What am I suggesting? Getting right with our creator. We need to be living right. We need to be giving of ourselves, and loving our neighbors/enemies/family/friends.
Please, get right with YAHVAH, our creator, and we all will be fine.
Stock up on food and water. This september 13th to the 28th are going to be difficult days. This much is clear. The writing is on the wall. We had better be prepared. But remember that it is NOT the end of the world, it is the end of our current way of life.
Please, keep a store of food and water. Get prepared for these times coming. You will be a blessing to all who will be suffering through these times.
Thank you, and may YAHVAH bless you in these days, and the days ahead.
:)

Carni for a day...
It's been a while, but an interesting thing took place... I joined the carnival. Yes, you read that correctly. After leaving Owensboro, I headed east. After a hard 5 miles walking, a lady stopped and asked me if I wanted a job. I said sure. We took off later and she told me that they had a few rides and she would like me to run one. I told her my mission, and she was very interested. After dropping my cart off at her house her brother took me to where they had the rides. I told her, and her brother that I had a community of followers that I took care of at least 3 to 4 days per week depending on wi fi. Saying that they understood it was important to keep in contact, with my people, we started. I got a room, and a job with the Mind Winder. I would be responsible for the ride and making sure the children were secure before riding. It all started out great. The first week was a little tough, but I did it. But I was not able to update my blog and that was because we were busy. I asked the owner if it were possible to get on wi fi, and she said yes through hers. So I finally got on the second week. But then things got harder. Getting into town was less frequent. The job was still easy, but getting online was tough. I started to feel that my mission was forgotten, and I was simply Cody the worker. I had a hard time getting my laptop to the ladies trailer to plug in, but tried a few times. Updating this blog takes about 45 minutes to an hour, so when her internet times out, I have to save and start later. All in all the experience has been good except where I felt my mission was drownded out by work and the inability to make it into town to converse with my community of followers. It is a serious mission, but not everyone sees it the same way...

A lot has happened...so here we go!
And so I went east out of Marion, and toward the town of Harrisburg when I got a little past Crab Orchard, a man on a motor bike stopped and walked over to me to ask me what I was doing. He saw that I was walking for a good cause, and I asked him if he had a big back yard where I could pitch my tent, He said yes, and when I made it to his town Eldorado, IL, his wife would even make dinner for me.
Since Eldorado was about 23 miles from that place, I told him not to expect me until the next day. So he drove off, and I continued on. After about 5 miles, I wanted to stop and rest, so I took Nixville road and was about to take my chair out to sit down when a van pulls up. The passenger asks me if I needed a ride, and I told him to Harrisburg would be great, and we loaded up the cart.
After about a mile, one of the guys, Kenny, asked me where I would like to be dropped off, and I told him at the McDonalds. He knew where it was, and proceeded. A few minutes later I was telling them what had happened on the road before they got there, and they decided to take me all the way to Eldorado, and even to the other mans place.
We arrived and it was great to know that the driver knew the man who invited me to his home for supper. I was grateful for the ride, and went into talking to the home owner. His name is Randy, and his wife is Georgia. They invited me to stay at their house, for as long as I needed, and I told them that it would not be for more than a few days.
The next day that I was there, I was invited to their neighbors house, and the lady who invited us was Mustang. She lived with her father, and for that day, to meet me, had her two boys over and we talked about my mission.
I had a blast with them and hope that I will one day get to meet with them all again. At the bottom, is a few pictures of Georgia, and I with my cart. I also took one of Randy, Georgia, Mustang, and her father, but it didnt come out all that great.
The next day, Randy took me all the way to Owensboro, Kentucky and after a big hug, he took off back to Eldorado, Illinois.
As I tried to navigate my way around Owensboro, I talked with a few pastors, and volunteered at the homeless shelter. Then yesterday, as I was in a McDonald's. I ran into a guy who wanted to know about my mission, and he invited me to his house to meet his family.
Aaron, Courtney, Kaylin, and Austin are family here in Maceo, KY. They are a very cool laid back family, and there is a picture of them below as well.
Thank you for all of what you did and for taking me into your home.
To Randy, Georgia, and Mustang, (and her two sons) I had a great time. To Randy: thank you for your wonderful person, and Georgia, for your awesome hospitality. I hope that I am able to see you again. :)
For Aaron, and Courtney, thank you for your kindness, and hospitality as well...

Wont make it to New York in time...
I have made it to Carbondale, Illinois. I noticed that no matter what path I take to New York, I will not be able to make it on time.
So, I am going to stop for a few days and wait on a word from the Almighty. I am not sure what he will want me to do, but whatever it is, I will do it for sure. This is going to be an interesting few days...
The trip from Anna to here was easy enough, and I made it in about 6 hours. Met a few neat people along the way. A few of those cicadas decided to attack me...lol

Leaving Cape Girardeau, and Jackson, Missouri...
I will miss Cape Girardeau, and all that it is. I really believe that it is a first class city...except for the few places where I actually thought would be welcoming. :(
Not that I want to leave this place with the bad memories, rather the ones of the beauty. I still think that this town is like a little San Diego. Just wonderful, scenic and refreshing.
The river is wide, and I actually saw a tugboat. Those are pretty neat, but I didnt take a picture...there are a few that I did take and the are of the river.
It is a sad panoramic view, but I did my best. I really hope that they upload so you can see what I saw from the top of the hill.
As I said before, (maybe), that I was through here once before back when I was in my twenties. It was a great city then, but the new bridge was not built yet.
I hope you like the view. :)
P.S. I will miss this town, and

The top 10 Questions...and Answers!
There have been many people who have asked me many things about being on my trip, and here are the top 10 questions, not in any order...
#10 ---> Question: When you are out on the road, where do you sleep?
Answer: I have a tent, a sleeping bag, and I pitch the tent wherever I can when the sun sets...
#9 ----> Question: How do you support yourself?
Answer: By donations and by working. I do not believe in getting handouts, and that is why I will always ask what there is to do to earn the money someone gave me, or for the food they are wanting to buy for me.
#8 ----> Question: Does anyone sponsor you?
Answer: No. I rely on working for everything I receive.
#7 ----> Question: Do you ever accept rides?
Answer: Yes. There was a pastor in Tatum, NM who asked me this question and I told him that I will only accept a ride to the next town. But the very next day, I accepted a 750 mile ride from Tatum to Conway, Arkansas. The reason was because I paid for the gas, and the person was going in that direction. (For the most part...lol)
#6 ----> Question: How do you do your laundry?
Answer: When I am in a town that has a laundromat, I wash my clothes.
#5 ----> Question: What was your worst/best experience(s)?
Answer: Worst experience was when I was walking in the freezing rain outside of Tatum, NM and there was nothing to get under to keep from getting wet.
Best experience was when I was walking in the freezing rain outside of Tatum, NM and the lady picked me up and drove a day and a half, all the while it was raining nonstop, to Conway, AR.
Best experience #2 was when I was about one mile from the major bridge outside Newport, AR and a lady stopped on the road and asked me if I had a baby in the cart I push. She gave me a ride all the way to Jonesboro, AR after I spent 2 nights in her travel trailer.
#4 ----> Question: Dont you get tired walking 17 to 20 miles every day?
Answer: Yes. But I dont mind doing it. I actually look forward to walking to another adventure...
#3 ----> Question: Wow! You are 40 years old?! (When I tell them how long I lived in Idaho, (37 years) and California, (2 years).
Answer: Yes. I will turn 40 in a few months.
#2 ----> Question: So you are like Forrest Gump?
Answer: No. He "felt like running", where I am doing this WALK to bring awareness to the churches and communities of believers. We need to come together and do more to get away from the government funded programs. We are not to be a part of this world.
#1 ----> Question: How many pairs of shoes have you gone through?
Answer: I am on my 4th pair total. I spent several months in El Paso, TX and went through a pair there, so five. But I do not count that pair because I was not walking the country then....
Those are the top ten questions I have been asked on this 8 month trekk. I am not supposing that the questions will change much, and I am going to more than likely add another pair of shoes, or two, to the list before it is all over.
Adieu!

Harvey the good Samaratan...
When I first got to Cape Girardeau, I was not sure if I would be able to make any contacts. I found the Salvation Army Community Center after being here for 1 hour, took a shower and talked with the staff for a while. Heading out to find a McDonald's for Wi Fi, I came across a guy sitting on a bench.
After stopping and telling him about my mission, he asked me to sit down and chat with him.
I found out that he was a janitor at the church he sat in front of. I didnt know that it was a church, but after closer inspection, lol, I saw that is was.
Harvey, the man sitting on the bench, told me that he was happy to see me, and he was glad that I was doing what I was doing on the trip. I told him to please tell as many people as he could about my mission for Sept. 10th - 15th, and he quickly picked up the phone and called two people.
On of the guys I spoke to was Gary. We chatted for a little about what was going on...
Harvey told me about a church that was serving an evening meal. I left and went to that church. Arriving at 5:30 I met a host of wonderful people and was happy to know that they were having a meal according to the book of Acts.
Later Harvey told me that I was able to sleep behind his apartment window, but before I did, he would need to inform his downstairs neighbors. They apparently didnt mind, but unfortunately I was not able to stay there.
At the McDonald's that night I was asked by the police what I was doing, and I told them I was able to sleep behind an apartment complex, and they said no.
So I slept behind a church.
Harvey and Matt, the other pastor of the church, came up to me at the library and we talked for a while about my mission. It was a good talk. Matt told me that he was trying to get the pastors of the city to work together, but it was difficult. He also was happy to see someone out in the open doing what I was doing.
It was awesome meeting Harvey and Matt because I saw a few good people who strive to be all they can be in the church.
Tonight, I will be going to a music festival and there I will be able to see many people. I hope to run into a few pastors there, or church folk.
Just another 4 days here in Cape, and I think it is going well. Lets hope that I am able to keep up the steam to continue a few more days...
