Hiking Thru the Bible: Samson's Riddle
What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time.
Day 15 on the Palmetto Trail. It seems like it's taking a long time to get through this Enoree passage. Today was the most "boring" day except that I had to cross a log high over a stream. I didn't want to wade due to the sores on my feet from my fire ant attack, so I chose the log which was a bit scary. Otherwise it was mainly walking through woods with the constant nature background "noise". I did 9 miles of trail and then had to walk another 1.3 miles to meet my mother.
Samson fell in love with a Philistine woman and insisted his parents get her for him, they didn't want to of course, but he won out. At his wedding feast he gave a riddle about honey in a lion's carcass. The Philistine men threatened his new wife that if they couldn't figure out the riddle they would burn her and parents place, so she got it out of Samson. He then proceeded to kill 30 Philistine men from another city to pay the reward. Such a brutal society back then. God uses sinners to do His work because what other choice does He have? We are all sinners and God wants to use US!
Scriptural reference: Judges 14

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. Day 14 of the Palmetto Trail in South Carolina brings me hiking the Enoree passage from Prospect Corner road to the Brick House campground. It was a nice trail. I did 15 miles! Was disappointed with the campground though as it did not have any water and we were low in the camper. Plus I get very sweaty with this humid hiking I've been...

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. Day 13 on the Palmetto Trail in South Carolina. I continue to onto the Enoree passage at Sedalia campground. This is a nice campground with water from a faucet. Government run so you can only reserve online which they charge $8, so I'm not too happy about that. Jephthah's vow is a story you wish wasn't in the Bible. He had a troubled ...

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. Day 12 on the Palmetto Trail in South Carolina took me through Glenn Springs. I was rather frustrated with navigation on this passage because there was no GPS and I kind of went in a circle. So glad to have my mom around!! After Gideon died his son by a concubine decided he wanted to be ruler and he killed his 70 brothers to get that ...

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. Day 11 on hiking the Palmetto Trail in South Carolina. This was through (mostly) the nice Croft State Park. This park really caters to horses. However I did not see another person on the trail, so if you want solitude this is a great place to come. Gideon felt like he needed more help from God I guess and so he made an ephod out of th...

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. Day 10 of hiking the Palmetto Trail in South Carolina, I did the Hub City Connector which was on a bike path in Spartanburg, at least some of it, and then the Cedar Springs passage which was hiking through the woods. God had Gideon initiate his battle in the middle of the night so his torches and trumpets would be effective. Some of t...

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. Day 9 on the Palmetto Trail took me through the USC Upstate campus, but more of it than I wanted to explore! Finding the trailhead was pretty difficult and I just about gave up and to drive on to the next trailhead when I lifted my head as we were driving by and there was the Palmetto Trail sign! I walked through woods and busy roads ...

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. Day 8 on the Palmetto Trail doing the Peach Country Passage. Again a walk on busy roads, but a nice reprieve from the woods. I'm enjoying South Carolina countryside! I put in 8.6 miles this afternoon with the starting point in a Landrum park. I'm not understanding the reasoning on the Palmetto Trail logistics, you can't call it a thro...

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. Day 7 on the Palmetto Trail. I finished the Blue Wall Passage which was a walk through the adorable town of Landrum South Carolina and into the countryside. It was a little hard getting a talk in with all the traffic, but I must say the walk was a little reprieve to hiking the steep woods and worrying about snakes and ticks! Sadly the...

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. Day 6. More walking through the woods in my Palmetto Trail hiking excursion. This was the Poinsett Reservoir Passage and even some of the Blue Wall. It was very steep in some places and exposed, but it was nice getting back into the woods. God called Gideon to defeat the Midianites. Gideon was kinda scared so he put out a test to God ...

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. I'm hiking the Palmetto Trail passages and today was the Saluda Mountain passage not near as exciting as the Middle Saluda passage. No snakes today though! Just a lovely walk through the forest. Deborah was a judge and prophet in Israel and God used her to lead in fighting a battle to rescue the Israelites from their apostasy and turn...

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. This is day 4 of hiking through the Palmetto Trail in South Carolina and I did the Middle Saluda Passage. It turned out to be quite an eventful day. In the morning I did the Raven Cliff Falls trail which turned out to be longer than anticipate and not that spectacular. Then in the afternoon I did the middle Saluda trail but stupidly t...

Lovely but long day with nothing too special to write home about. Always grateful at the end of a day when I don't see any snakes!! I'm beginning my hike through the book of Judges and it's so sad because ...

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. This is day 2 on the Palmetto Trail. The Estatoe passage is 4.2 miles and I did it after a hard rain so it was pretty slick, but oh so pretty. Make no mistake there are hills to climb in South Carolina! It took me 3 hrs to complete but I was enjoying every step of it! I especially loved the swinging bridges. Hardly any people and very...

What the world needs is hope and healing one step at a time. I'm so excited because my mother actually agreed to go with me on a trip and be my trail angel! It's been over 2 years since we've done this. I picked a few long distance trails I'd like to do and she chose South Carolina. So I have started the Palmetto Trail today. I love history and the spring time wildflowers that abounded on this ...
