This blog is about a journey, one that began way back in 1931 in Harper, Kansas. It is a journey that has eclipsed many miles and many years. The journey has taken me to Arthur, IL, Goshen, IN, Chicago, IL, East Peoria, IL, Orrville, OH, New York City, NY, back to Arthur, IL, and now to Hesston, KS.
The road to and from these various places around the country has been mostly smooth, but there were also bumps and rough places that came. This road also has had curves and hills, speed zones, busy roads, and lonesome roads.
Along the way I found a traveler to accompany me on my journey. This woman has accompanied me now for 53 plus years. We together have experienced many good, wonderful times, as well as those times which challenged us in many ways. As the years have taken us over this journey together, we have grown closer and learned to depend more and more on each other. It is a very good time for us now and while we share our lives differently now than early on, we both feel blest to have one another on our journey.
I have another fellow traveler Who is with me always. His name is Jesus. While He was always present in my home, He didn't come into my life in a meaningful way until I opened the door in about 1952 or so. Since that time I have attempted to walk the Jesus way, but have to confess that sometimes I wondered off the track. In these later years Jesus has come to mean more to me than ever before, and walking in His way is the most important goal I have for each day.
This should get this blog started. I hope to make additions on a regular basis, but probably not every day. I invite you to read and share your comments as we go along. May God's peace be with you.
Pilgrim on the way.

Wayne, I don't know how much writing you do or like to do, but I think you'll find a blog to be a wonderful outlet for those things that seem to wander around inside your head with no means of escape.
Blog when you feel like it, and when you don't feel like it. Blog when you have something to say, and when nothing is cooking in the belfry.
Many is the time I've started writing, not having a clue what it would be about or how it would end, but it always seems to come out OK.
Welcome to the club!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about your journey. I'm glad to have shared in the journey pretty closely for about 20 years, and am glad to be heading towards the same destination with you now, though from a distance. Will be glad to hear your ongoing thoughts.
