Today Denise & I met to get down to some details... We have a plan for improving and safeguarding our friendship during 4 1/2 months on the road. I am particularly inspired by the girding (Yes, guiding too!) light... ok, girding statement we worked out this morning.

"To, as sisters in Christ, work to create a God-honoring, mutually beneficial and enjoyable friendship."

And we added these verses, "Galatians 5:22 to 6:5" ( the fruits of the Spirit ) and Phillippians 2:1-4 ( Being like-minded, one in purpose)

We also talked about cresting, logos, and other thoughts regarding promotional, saleable and award type products. This is going to be ongoing...any thoughts out there?

Looking forward to the first conference call Thursday.

Later, Diane

The First Blog

How convenient that I was coming to the library just after walking with Denise this morning. She mentioned the website was up and running, so I forced myself (yeah right, to not run) to have a peek.

Very nicely done Scott! Denise was excited that it could be up so fast, I am quite amazed too. One additional comment..."Africa is Hot!"??? More coming soon right?

Well, here I am, hoping to encourage Denise, lend my voice to her cause, and hopefully post somewhat regularly to provide the reader with my epigrammatical point of view as we proceed through this God-assigned adventure.

Walking indoors at the Palace (Home of the Melfort Mustangs), was not as lovely as walking outdoors. I'm not sure how many times we circled the ice in that hour, but I can see why some of the walkers "unwind". Will my shoes wear out on one side if we always circle left?

I am excited to announce Denise and I have scheduled regular meetings to discuss many of the details that are quickly piling up, to formalize our prayer time over this, and to soothe our growing angst. It is approximately 4 months or 120 days before Denise leaves for Ontario to promote the walk there. Ahhhh! Exciting hey?

That's it for today...Please encourage me / us by adding a comment.
