May 19th, 2015; my truck was loaded and all fueled up, the time was 5:00am, the weather was calm and cool as I began my journey to Oz. The road is a lonely place to begin with, but when the radio doesn't work it can become even longer. The first leg of the journey is north from Chickamauga Ga. toward Nashville Tn. Not a bad little drive, just over 120 miles and 2 and a half hours, that is if you can tolerate it. I on the other hand had to stop twice just to get out and move around, didn't hurt to get gas at the 150 mile mark just west of Nashville. I would leave the interstate behind and enjoy my back country highways, to me the drive is more pleasant and the history of this great nation still lives there.
After about 15 hours into this journey I realize that I am not as young as I once was, I have stopped for the night in Mountain Grove, Missouri. Never in all my years of travelling back home to Oz has it ever been a 2 day trip. This could possibly be the first thing God is showing me, it doesn't all have to be done in one day, slow down and rest, God can more readily use me that way.
So as I close out day one I want to thank everyone for their prayers and support, this journey has just begun...
