A Conversation with Ben

Saturday, May 17, 2014

Yesterday, I went to Ellena Gallegos open space for my training.

While waiting to get my annual pass, I saw a lady wearing a blue tee shirt with a yellow arrow! She was walking towards my side of the car.

I said, "buen camino! Did you do the walk?"

"Yes, I did it 2 years ago. There is a meeting this afternoon about the camino if you want to come."

I gave her my name and email. In the afternoon, I was in good company with people in this city who have done the camino.

What can I say? The camino is calling loud and clear!

This is my training ground. Pino trail out of Ellena Gallegos Open Space in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

I got my hiking shirts and pants this weekend.

Yes, my budget is tight but God will provide!

I hope to follow the footsteps of Dr. Gerard and do my Camino for the cancer patients.

Finally got my trekking poles today!

I call them Faith!

I name my walking stick JC, Jesus Christ.

I walk with Jesus, God is with me!

I found a Bible yesterday.

Thanks to my Sister Vic, she reminded me that if I want to talk to God, read the Bible.

When I went to the bookstore, Jesus guided me to this one.

When I saw the word "backpack", I knew this is it.

God wil provide.

Jesus walks with me.

The stone is from our backyard.

It will go with me to Cruz de Ferro where it will join thousands of other stones left by pilgrims.
