The Walk – Day 32 »

- Bill and Janice. Thank you
St Pauls (C of E) in Cookhill
1 June. Another hot day. I have a full nine days (including to day) to reach the south coast, need to slow down… not a bad thing… think the body is slowing down any way, guess for a number of reasons…. the hot weather… body is using more energy than its taking in (that is not a complaint I have been fed incredibly well)… also both knees + one shin are strapped up… and feet…. hmm let’s not go there…. I feel the main reason is the body knows the walk is coming to an end… its been told it has to slow down to make the 40 days, and didn’t need telling twice. A number of people while walking have said what your doing is extraordinary. Extraordinary…. no.. out of the ordinary… yeah OK. Many times in prayer we ask God for inspiration … sometimes its nice to turn that around… and do something to inspire God. (on this walk I have met so many people doing just that).
Back to the thank yous (again I don’t think the thank yous mean much to most of the readers….but to me it means a lot, with out these people this walk could not have happened… and besides I know my mum is reading this blog and if I didn’t say my thank yous I’d be in trouble…. and rightly so…). A thank you to a MacDonalds in Redditch and the biggest thank you to Bill and Janice (who are a part of the minerstery team in around Cookhill) they gave me a bed for the night and fed me (not forgetting a chance of a shower) had a fantastic dinner in the garden. The day finished with a hot chocolate…. Thank you.

Paul's Progress
On the first of May 2009, Paul Currie set out to walk the length and breadth of the UK from near Thurso to Southampton via Ireland, around 1000 miles. His intention is to raise funds and awareness to establish an Interfaith Youth Hostel. He is taking NO money with him and no support. Apart from a sleeping bag and a copy of World Scriptures, Paul will rely on the kindness of the British people and his trust in God to keep him going in this endeavour.
Paul says, “Through showing respect, we gain understanding, through understanding, we gain friendship, and friendship changes everything.”
The blue line is Paul’s progress so far…. (click map to enlarge)
Please support Paul by making a donation towards the Interfaith Youth Hostel.
100% of the money donated will go towards the fund for the Interfaith Youth Hostel.
