What is great to write tonight is that walking the last three days has helped me deal with pain and tightness associated with my Cerebral Palsy. Each day I have been able to walk longer and faster with greater flexibility. I have less pain tonight all because of the therapy associated with walking. Thank you Lord for Barb and walking.
I actually went to a physical therapist to get an update on how I can stretch. For us with CP it is a daily problem. At night my body is worn out by the stimulation firing in my nervous system. Stretching is a God send to relieve pain. Moving our bodies and getting the full range of motion is huge.

Walk in Rock Run - local daily walk
Barb and I will be walking today out at Rock Run a local trail near our home. Walking throughout the year we get to see the changes that occur. Walking outdoors away from cars is also a plus. We will walk two to three miles today in about 40 minutes.
I was reading Mark 2:9-13 today and noticed Jesus contact with people started with his walking along the Sea of Galilee. Walking was a way of life with Jesus and I am sure in his day he had no problem having a thirty minute walk and many walks each day. For him and his disciples walking had no modern notions of aerobics and such. They just did it.
Get out for a walk, who knows who you meet.

beginning of the walk
Four years ago with my wife's encouragement I began the habit of walking at least 30 minutes every day. I changed some of my eating habits and lost about 40 lbs.
I did a yearlong study on the Bible and health and I been learning, writing, teaching and looking at the gospels from the point of view of a walker who travels with Jesus and His band. I have got this crazy idea of taking daily walks not in the Holy Land but in local walking parks in my area. As I walk every day I read a portion of Scriptures following the life of Christ from Dwight Pentecost book the Words and Works of Jesus Christ and AT Robertson's Harmony of the Gospels. As I made my observations I started to dig into the gospels and many other sources. So far I have mapped out the first year of Christ's life. My studies should take me through the rest of His earthly life through the summer and fall, maybe longer.
I want to challenge myself to loose more weight and encourage others in walking with the Lord and walking.
I hope to share a devotional walk that you can experience right in your hometown that will help you improve your health and life with God. Blogging is new to me so in a way this is just the beginning, Come walk with the fat man!
