I loved the Natchez Trace Parkway! Family heritage and remembrance can be bittersweet. I'm thankful that you found peace in God!

Thanks for sharing your day with us Brian...sounds like you were refreshed by the Holy Spirit and got to just "be" without trying or forcing any feelings but allowing God to fill you and spend the day with Him. I wish I could have gone on my long walk...last year it was Lake Tahoe, but alas I am working now and had to work a 10 hour shift today. Maybe this weekend I can do my long walk. God Bless you friend! Hugs, April

Fantastic... It brought tears to my eyes, because this generation doesn't know much about their roots, where they come from... I'm happy your children would be different. Thanks for sharing, Brian!

Hey Brian,
It's hard to imagine you without any "connecting stuff" in your pocket, brother (no laptop, recording stuff, celphone, day-planner, agenda, etc.), but I am blessed by what you've shared about "heritage."
"Heritage" is a different thing than "citizenship," I think. Knowing what stock you come from, and where things have been formed that later came to pass... wow. It gives rooting to an ongoing identity. The way in which God could orchestrate an outcome from these things amazes.
Indeed, DAB is born of these God-oriented Hardin roots too, amen?
:-)
Hugs, brother...

Wonderful to hear your Long Walk happened this year! What a rich heritage of faith...and to return as a son to the place where your dad responded to the call of Jesus on his heart at such a young age...so special. Holy ground indeed.

It is so wonderful to be able to celebrate such wonderful roots and know that God is still present as you re-visit such a special place. I'm glad your day included just "hanging out with God" and not having to worry about any agenda or details -- sounds like just what you needed.
