I've made it to Georgia! Staying at Hiker Hostel. I've already met some great people and I look forward to starting on Springer Mountain tomorrow. We've got some rain this afternoon but the weather should be clear for tomorrow.
Appropriately for entering the wilderness at the base of my own mountain adventure, the Episocal Daily Office (Moring Prayer for the third Tuesday in Easter) begins with the following from the book of Exodus, "On the third new moon after the Israelites had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that very day, they came into the wilderness of Sinai. They had journeyed from Rephidim, entered the wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness; Israel camped there in front of the mountain..."
The Office continues with Paul's simiarly appropriate greeting to the Collosians, "May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light."
Good signs for the journey to come!
