We took advantage of Easter Sunday to get a head start on our transcontinental trip. We celebrated Jesus’ resurrection yesterday with our family and then struck out on a rainy Sunday morning ahead of the Easter traffic and are now on the outskirts of Phoenix.
This morning we are going to walk with some friends and our two dogs in Phoenix, and then head to Wilcox, AZ where we have a dinner planned. The pre-planned events giving direction and timing to this trip, Lord willing, include:
- Austin, TX – April 5-15 (With some gatherings the weekend of April 13-15)
- Loxley, AL – April 22-25
- Anniston, AL – April 26-28
- Richmond, VA – May 14-19
- Sykesville, MD – May 20-23
- Lexington, KY – May 31 – June 4
- Denver, CO – June 14-20
There are obviously some gaps in there for Sara and I to take some quiet time, perhaps along the gulf coast or in South Georgia on the Atlantic. We are also connecting with a lot of people in smaller conversations between most of the stops listed above.
If you’re along that route somewhere, or want to join us at any of these gatherings, please let me know and we’ll see what we can do about connecting on our way by. We do morning walks with the dogs, lunch or dinner meetings, or even picnics hanging out by the fire at whatever RV Park in which we’re parked.
We’re so honored in this season of our lives to have more casual and thus deeper conversations with people on this incredible journey of living loved.
Our projected route continues to be:

I’m half way through Finding Church, thank you so much for sharing with such clarity and love. Hopefully some friends and I can meet up when you are in Phoenix/Arizona somewhere. Blessings
My apologies, Jonathan, but we’ve already been through Phoenix last Monday, April 1. Mostly we did a drive-by to get to things further east and missed connecting with a lot of our friends in the area. Maybe some future trip we could hang out a bit.
