So I have not told many people this, but I think it is pretty interesting so I will go ahead and share.  Throughout the whole trip I had a reoccurring dream, not every night, but at least 2-3 times a week.  The dream would go like this, I would just somehow be home, and say I was in West Virginia that night, I would know that I made at least to West Virginia, but somehow went home straight from there.  So I thought I had to either start all over, or give up on my goal of all 50 states, of course this made me freak out in my dream.  Sometimes I would be talking to someone in my family, or a friend, and they would tell me, “Hey don’t worry you did 37 states,” or however many I had done so far, “That is pretty good.”  And I would argue with them and say, “No I have to go back, I have to finish.”  It was about this time every dream that I would wake up and be relieved to realize that I was actually still on the road, and I did not just teleport back home.

I tell you this dream, beacuse recently I had a similar one.  I dreamt that I was back home, but there was no freak out, I was hanging with family and friends and just excited to be home, and starting life again.  I again woke up in the middle of that dream, and this time instead of being relieved that I was still on the road, I was disappointed.  This is how I knew, the trip is over, and I am ready to go home.

With that said, I am finishing up visiting with my good buddy Dave Radford and his wife Angela.  From here I will see my cousin in Monterey, another friend in San Luis Obispo, and then home.  I have 2 more churches to visit on the way home and I am pretty excited about them both.  One is Calvary Chapel SLO, and the other is Cornerstone in Simi Valley.  I am actually visiting Cornerstone on my last day on the road, and I am pretty excited about that cause Francis Chan, the teaching pastor, is one of my favorite preachers.
