Landshut - Buch am Erlbach

Photo 1: A good friend of mine from Moosburg, Robert Fetzer, joined me for the last walk of Snail-Trail 3.0 from Landshut to my home in Buch am Erlbach. It was nice just carrying a day pack today. Robert recently decided to follow Jesus. Along the way we talked about many issues concerning life and faith. As mentioned on the blog from last Sunday, Robert was not certain he would be able to walk the distance after his injury on that Saturday. He did... with God's help. That is also my story from each of the Snail-Trails: With God's help I walked the distance.

Photo 2: His dog Sari accompanied us as well. She had her own doggie backpack...

Photo 3: We walked the high path from Landshut which gave us this view of the Isar River Valley.

Photo 4: This was the station of the crucifixion on the Calvary Way in Buch am Erlbach. I felt drawn to the cross. It was low enough that I could look up to Jesus and stretch my hands out to his arms. I thought of what the New Testament teaches us that we are crucified with Christ. His death was our death, and now the power of his resurrection resides within us. It was this power that enabled me to walk 2675 killometers from Tallinn in Estonia to my home in Germany. It is his life in me that I live. It is his grace that takes me from one step to the next. Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. He is the Way. So walk this path!

Photo 5: 100 days on the Snail-Trail come to an end. Thank you Good Shepherd for bringing me back home safe and sound!
