Hiking Thru the Bible: Your God Is My God
What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time.
Day 20 on the Palmetto Trail. I skipped the Fort Jackson passage due to time and high security. So this is the Wateree Passage where I hiked 2 miles, then biked for 5 miles (I decided I'd better start making time because I need to get home, so I'm biking the road sections and trails that are bikeable), then hiked 4 miles into Poinsett State Park. Lots more bridges to cross and only saw one snake!
With my hiking through the Bible I have now started on the special book of Ruth! Ruth follows her mother-in-law to her homeland because of Naomi's kindness Ruth wanted to be with her and her God. The transforming power of divine love is t...

We would need our backgrounds checked and there were people ahead of us, and we had to be out by 5 pm what would be hard to do on a 16 mile pas...

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. Day 18 on the Palmetto Trail doing the Peak to Prosperity passage, although I did it Prosperity to Peak.

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. Day 17 on the Palmetto Trail takes me through Lynch's Woods and Newberry Passage. I wasn't too impressed with Lynch's Woods because it was a circular trail, so I'm not sure why they had the Palmetto Trail go through it, was it just to show off this park? It seemed unnecessary to me and not an efficient way to get from point a to point...

Today was the most "boring" day except that I had to cross a log high over a stream. I didn't want to wade due to the sores on my feet from my fire ant attack, so I chose the log which was a bit scary. Otherwise it was mainly walkin...

    For me, the difference between the walking and the bicycling video is the pace. Walking is very peaceful while cycling has the feeling of a gliding movement with the wind on your face and more focus on what's ahead. I enjoy both. Thanks.

    You sure got to cross a good many trestles! It’s just so beautiful there! You were cute about the snake and I’m surprised you even stood there long enough to video it! I also don’t know how you managed the heat. And the footage while riding your bike was honestly not bad for riding single handed! 😊

  • @Chris-lp3dm

    You walked far more of the town than I did, very impressive! Sorry to hear your mother's work did not succeed. My own experience in Los Algodones has been perfect, and for full mouth restoration. But I went to the largest dental practice in the town, namely SANI Dental. You were right there when you were in the "Medi-Plaza", it is right next door and the Medi-Plaza is part of their operation. That includes the Hotel Cielito Lindo and the big restaurant you walked by, "Mi Casa Es Su Casa". Anyway, what I did to select a dentist was to research quite a lot on the internet, exchanged email and phone calls all before I drove 3.5 hours. Over two days I visited several dental practices for evaluations and prices. My choice was SANI Dental and I had the extractions, implants and temporary acrylic prostheses all done over a three day visit in March of 2024. Coming up on six months later and I have been completely pleased so far. I will return soon to have the temporary removed and the final, permanent bridges installed. Of course my work was very extensive and would have been impossible for me to pay for in the USA. While online reviews of LUX Dental where your mother went are very positive, I've no personal experience there. I do know that many dentists in Los Algodones guarantee their work over some time period, like two to five years. I wonder if she considered returning there?

    Thanks for posting. Fun to watch. Unfortunately, BC Ferries "renovated" a 4 year old ship, and part of that was to convert the only forward facing view lounge to a "kids zone" where if you want the magnificent forward views there is competition from noisy kids and big screen TVs that interfere with the benefit of the windows. "Unencumbered by the thought-process" at BC Ferries.

    In answer to your question: The experiences I've had are like the breeze: it's there for one moment and gone the next. The good I've done is/was/will be for the people who benefit from my actions. Yes, in 100 years, there will probably be no memory of me, but that's okay. I do not long for immortality. Seize the moment and do your best with a clear consicence. That is all there is to it, really. Is it easy to accept one is just as temporary as a May fly? Maybe not for everyone, but accepting it brings a great deal of peace.
