A man walking from Texas to his hometown in Washington state has had a cross to bear for months. James Strickland says he's been dragging a 12-foot cross from Longview, Texas, to his Aberdeen home since May.The 39-year-old says he was praying about his troubled past when he received a message to start walking on a journey of renewal. He took along the cross, which rolls on wheels with his belongings tied near the bottom.
He expects to reach home Tuesday or Wednesday. Strickland says the trek has taken him through Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah and Idaho.
He says he hopes to reconcile with the mother of his two children.
Aberdeen police Capt. John Green told KXRO-AM that Strickland also has several misdemeanor warrants to clear up...

Wonder why God demanded him to lug a cross across the countryside instead of going and working things out with his wife? I'm sure God has a stellar plan that this fellow is following.

Sounds like good cardio. Not bad weight training. Might even double up as "quiet time" most of the time. (......but then,..........those voices in the head........)
p.s. Not a bad idea to burn off some tension before you "reconcile" in any event. Hey, if thats how he wants to "get chill",...more power to him. I betcha men who have crosses to bear, who have born them WELL and LONG, treat their families better at journeys end.
