While on the journey...

Please...please...while on the journey, do not stare directly into the eyes of the local wildlife.

I would, however, encourage you to bring someone along. Someone who you can talk face-to-face with about what you're reading/experiencing. Someone who will know where you are and where you're supposed to be. Someone who can keep you on track just in case you would wander off.

We don't need to do this alone. That's part of why God gave us each other.

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."

1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV)

"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another -- and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

Hebrews 10:25 (NIV)
