New Totals!

I just totalled up the slips that were put in the offering plate on Sunday, and boy am I relieved! Several people had told me they were walking, but hardly anyone was posting on this blog and . . . I worried that this was a good idea whose time was not right.
But !
We have some very dedicated Bethlehem bound walkers out there!
Nine people/families signed in, for a total of 149.5 miles. And there were three anonymous walkers, for another 41 miles. So we are at 191.5 miles! Pushing 200 miles, here on the second Sunday in Advent! That means that Mary and Joseph could make the trip (70 miles for each of them puts us at 140) and 6 shepherds from the surrounding hillsides could have walked the 3.5 miles into town (another 21 miles). And we still have three wise men 10 miles down the road from somewhere in Syria. Jim Evans figured out that's an almost 300 mile trip. So we have a ways to go, but we are doing so well!
Thanks to everyone who is participating.
