Preparing myself to be ready for the journey, which has not been easy. More a violent affair in many cases. I am afraid, worried about what my friends will think, hearing words that essentially are eager to tell me I am crazy, and trying to reconcile all this with the feeling that I am supposed to take this trip. Oddly enough, I am in a position to go on the road, my kids are all set and well cared for, I can do my job from the road and in fact learned all kinds of helpful things about what one can do with the new mobile phone technology. So what am I afraid of? Silly me. Please pray for me to not be afraid.
