Here we are in Yuma, Arizona! :)
Starting tomorrow, I will be out and about taking pictures and getting acquainted with the flora and fauna. Then I will take more pics of the city and people.
Here are a few I took as I was crossing the bridge from California to Arizona! :)
Pic of me... This is me standing in front of Giss Parkway, just about a half mile into Yuma.
Pic of the one car bridge... I walked over this bridge. Only one car at a time can cross the bridge, but there are two pedestrian walkways. There is also a train truss and I got a good pic of the train leaving Arizona and entering California.
While I am here I will be picking up my 500 Vistaprint business cards that were designed by John Moles, the creator of Mouse Trap Traffic. He is our main VirtaCoin developer.
You can check out who our Council members are HERE:)
Please check out our community HERE:)
Check out my website HERE:)
There are many more adventures to come on my trip, and I hope you all stick with me until the day I walk into New York City! :)
I am here in Yuma for the next 5 days getting the cards out to many people and doing what I can to help the community. I love to volunteer!
I will be heading on to Phoenix, Arizona and that is about 175 miles agian. Keep in touch with me @ codymacstewart@gmail.com or our Skype VTA Republic group. We need more people to come on in!
On to Phoenix and I will again give the photos, and the pic of the cart later once I get the pics right! :P

Why I am walking...
Hello to all who follow this blog!
Well, it has been a pretty good start to a hard trip. I trained for about 3 1/2 weeks going all through San Diego. Up hills, down hills. The last day I was in SD, I went 18 miles and didnt stop. That was the farthest I have walked in a long time.
But why walk? Because that way, instead of taking a bus, or another form of transport, you might miss someone who is in need. "But Cody, you are not rich enough to help everyone. What can you do?" I can show them how we all can become better off by leaving the fiat currency we use today, the USD, (U.S. dollar) and move onto another form of currency. Digital currency, also known as "cryptocurrency".
How did I get here? By trying to make a difference in the world. I know that my attempt is small compared to many who have a team of helpers, but I do what I can.
Promoting VirtaCoin is the #2 thing I do. The #1 thing I do is bring awareness to the condition of the world. It really does not matter if you are a christian, hindu, muslim, or pagan. We all live here on this planet and we all need to help one another. It does not mean that we are going to agree with each other on all things, but we all know what is going on around us.
Can we escape the rampant hunger, homelessness, chronic suffering? We can. And the way to end it all is to get up off our butts and get moving to do something in our community.
What can you do? Well, for most, it will be hard to give of themselves. It is because sacrifice is hard. Being humble is difficult as well, and so pride is a major hurdle. Once we get over our preconceived notions when it comes to homelessness, and world hunger, by just walking down any street where a homeless person is.
First, recognise that there is a problem. Second, find a solution. There are always people who can point out the obvious..."Hey Bill, look, the homelessness is getting worse in our town. I cant stand them, and wish they would just leave!" But where will they go? To another city to "burden" them? This is called "self centered thinking". It is obvious to anyone with a brain that these things are a "burden" on the community. But what about the people who face it every day?
We need to see with new eyes to be able to provide answers to the issues that we face on a daily basis.
Give some examples as to what we all can do to help. Just comment, and voice your opinion...

His Ascension into Heaven
As many look at the bible, we see things differently. But is this correct? I believe that as believers, we need to view the Bible the same, as Paul says.
Let us look at Acts 1: 9
There it is stated that, "Now when he had spoken these things, while they watched, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight."
There are a few things we need to see here.
#1: This happened while the disciples watched.
#2: He was taken up.
#3: A cloud received him, out of their sight.
Well, it is obvious that Jesus was lifted UP off the earth. A cloud received him and took him. But the question should be, where was he taken?
The answer is found in a book of the old testament. The book of Daniel. Lets take a look at the 7th chapter and see what is taking place there.
"I continued to observe, the vision in the night, and behold, like the son of man was coming with the clouds of heaven until he came to the Ancient of Days, and approached him. Then dominion, honor, and the kingdom were given to him, and all peoples, tribes, and languages served him. His authority is an everlasting authority which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed." Daniel 7: 13, 14
I see nothing about a "second coming" here. He is taken TO the Ancient of days, not to the earth. If Christians see the second coming in this, then they are seriously mistaken. How can you read this and get the second coming out of it?
Is it not obvious enough to see that he is being ushered into the presence of the Ancient of Days? What happened after he ascended into heaven? He was ushered into the presence of the Father, and given not "a" kingdom, but THE kingdom.
Let us also look at when this happened.
In 31 A.D. Jesus was crucified. That must mean that in 31 A.D. he received his kingdom. But hold on one second people, I know that this is hard to swallow. So I will make it easy for you who doubt. As is known, I am a completed believer. I believe that ALL of the prophesies were fulfilled by 68-70 A.D.
I also can prove with the way YAHVAH deals with his people, that he works in cycles, that EVERYTHING in the bible has been fulfilled. Everything. Nothing was missed, nothing is "yet" to be fulfilled.

The Living Church
It is well known that the church of the first century met in their homes. We today meet in buildings that do not have the cozy atmosphere of family. People are letting fewer and fewer "strangers" in their house. What is going on is the nation has been bombarded with stories and lies of strangers and wierdos who will attack your family at any opportunity. While it is true that break-ins do take place, and people should be aware of strangers, it is only hype to scare the public. Let in christian strangers, and your home will grow. The people that keep christians in their homes are blessed families. Have Bible studies before breeakfast, after breakfast, and throughout the day. All of the first century believers lived in this way and it is a dying art. It is not completely dead, but it takes you to keep it live. YAHVAH wants us to be a community of believers. He wants us to believe that he will keep us safe, and those of the church will help if anything does not go as planned. It is about time to start the church in your home. It is about time to reap the rewards. The rewards of the church that is in your house. May YAHVAH bless you in all you do. :)

The Forgotten Truth
Another wonderful day to be alive. Last time I commented on one of the rights of our constitution, and today I will do something similar. We all would like to think that the great document was written up by a good bunch of men. Rather, it is exactly the opposite. Yes, they were looking out for the interests of the majority of the people, but what about the manority? If they really were "GOD' fearing men, then why did they worry about the way the king was treating them? It all comes down to subjecting yourself to a higher authority. The king may have been the devil in skin, or evil incarnet, but that was not a good reason to rebel. There is never a good reason to rebel. Yashua always recognised authority. He even called them evil to their faces. But he never rebelled. In fact, he told his disciples that the Pherisees were in the seat of Moses. That is an honorable place for sure. He told them to listen to them and do what they told them to do when it was within scripture. If it was not, then they had the right to tell the higher authority, to their faces, that they were wrong, and needed to shape up. They never were told to start war, or rebel. The constitution is fine and dandy for non-GOD fearing people. But for those who will call themselves "believers", they must know that it is the work of men who had good intentions. We all know what road is paved with them.
