They were curious. They humored me. I had camped but never outside a campground, never carrying a backpack and never alone. What? Alone? No  Not alone  Had I not read the reports? Had I not heard the warnings? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy response initially was that there are bears and boars and snakes and rabid things and bad mouse droppings and lunatics and treacherous trails. There are terrorists; I still fly. Surely I would bring a gun or a dog or a man? And, they secretly began to hope that I would not make the hike. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorrie Ten Boom wrote in her book \u003ci\u003eHiding Place\u003c\/i\u003e that she read Psalm 91 daily while in a German concentration camp. My friend read Psalm 91 daily while her son served in Iraq. They did this because they believed in the ever-present Emmanuel God. I adopted Psalm 91 and told the worriers to pray for feathers. I carried a feather over my shoulder attached to my pack, for protection. \"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.\" (Psalm 91:4a New International Version)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSue Hatch, aka \"Happy Talk\" is an old grandma who never carried a backpack or slept in the woods alone. Her family thought she'd lost her mind. But she requested time off from her very sane job as a visiting nurse and embarked on a walk in the woods that would take her from Georgia to Virginia. Why? To prove that Emmanuel God really is with us, and means to bring us joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.18 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 13, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52749203439923,"sku":"9781973678076","price":49.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/aVZwbXZrdTRrUnp4Qy9acDB5VzBKUT09.webp?v=1764262997","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/joy-in-the-journey-experiencing-god-on-the-appalachian-trail-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
