We crossed the bridge to Little Rock and rolled up to the state Capitol before heading thru town. All day in the city folks had time to stop, many asked how I managed and where I slept. When I explained how we get help from good people we meet to leap-frog the support van up to where we finish the day all I actually had at days end was many well wishes . As the sun raced to the horizon I began to loose faith in this system that seems work in all places but in large cities. My foot was sore and I could feel it swelling . As I walked past a seminary some young men came to the road and asked my story. I half heartedly shared and to my surprise they helped. The man who helped with the ride was a veteran who shared his experience after returning home from "the war", becoming lost in drink and depression. He shared with me the night with a bottle in one hand and gun in the other he had his moment where his faith called him to give his life for ministry rather than end it all.
A powerful choice, a good choice.

Mr Erik, What an inspiration to meet you and Nice today. I talked to you, and gave Nice a pat, on your walk down Hwy 5 this afternoon in Bryant . I am a Physical Therapist doing home health in this area. I had passed you and Nice a couple of times today and decided I wanted to meet you in person. What a kind gentleman you are. After I left you and Nice, I really wished I had said or done more to help you. You certainly motivated me even more to challenge my patients and my Dad to get up off the couch!!! I wish you and Nice happy and healthy adventures!!! Renee
