Walk With me on Our Journey: I could have prayer walked all night! Yes! We did the whole 3 mile prayer pilgrimage!

Dear Family of Love and Pilgrims on Our Journey!

I could have prayer walked all night! Yes, you guessed it! I walked the Whole Holy 3 miles tonight and wasn't any worse for wear. God is Good.
