Our Jonathan and I came across a most fascinating man today in Atlanta. \u00a0 He had decided to ‘pick up his cross and follow Jesus,’ literally. \u00a0 On his shoulder was a heavy, 15 ft. long wooden cross, with a small wheel at it’s base. \u00a0 Josh Sarhan, 33, had left his home in Rogers, Arkansas, 37 days prior. \u00a0 Each day he walks, on average, some 15 miles. \u00a0 He witnesses to people about Jesus. \u00a0 Sarhan laments about the current state of the nation, saying we’ve become so tremendously “secular” and have pushed God out of so much of every day life. \u00a0 We have, in essence, become “a house divided.” \u00a0 (And he wasn’t talking about partisanship in the Congress.) \u00a0 Sarhan, who was involved with a Christian fellowship group in Arkansas, said he plans to walk 9,500 miles through the country in total. \u00a0 He said he left with no money, yet almost every time he stops at a restaurant someone will pay for the food (often anonymously). \u00a0 Or shortly after he pays for the food, someone comes up to him on the street and gives him money out of the blue. \u00a0 He also left with camping gear “…but I’ve never had to use it,” he smiled. \u00a0 Sarhan said each night someone either puts him up in their home, or give him money for a motel. \u00a0 “God always provides, it’s been amazing,” he added. \u00a0 Jonathan and I signed his cross. \u00a0 It’s filled with the signatures, and remarks, of those he’s met along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
