As usual, I'm late to the table, but I am loving those monks walking for peace!!!! [View all]

I wish I could hug every single one of them. (Probably not allowed, but I would if I could.) And the dog!!!!

They started in Ft. Worth and I'm near San Antonio, so I didn't get to see them, but every time I see video, my heart just swells. Prayers for the two who were injured earlier in their walk. I so admire the tenacity, and I am so grateful for the message of peace.

We need more of this!!!
