Thoughts and Towns, and entering Texas

I have passed through many towns since I last blogged about my adventures in Albuquerque. I have been cycling most of the time on I-40 and occasionally on Route 66 when it parallels I-40. So you can envision the relationship I have developed with big rig trucks and their drivers. Truck drivers cautiously moving their rigs in a position to pass me with care, and my concern is always to cycle as far to the right of the shoulder as possible. Since I have cycled many thousands of miles on the Inter-States and Highways; a closeness and respect has developed for long distance truck drivers. I also eat at may of the restaurants that truckers frequent. As time passes, more women drivers are seen driving big rig trucks.

While trekking on the highway mile after mile , I have learned to spend my time praying and talking with God The Father. During this time of fellowship, various scriptures come to mind and stay with me throughout the day and longer. I will share a few with you, you will be blessed if you read them! Exodus 23:20, Deuteronomy 31:6,2 Timothy 2:3,and Philippians 2:5.

I have entered the state of Texas. On Memorial Day I departed Amarillo leaving the I-40. I will be traveling South towards Lubbock, Abilene and Austin; then begin cycling East to Houston and beyond….Blessings to you in Jesus name. I am resting in Canyon Texas, home of the West Texas A&M University. How cool is that!!!
