Randy's Journal
Friends, Romans, Astros Fans...
TWELVE hours, 20 miles yesterday at Fit One Athletic Club; UN-believable -
never, ever expected to go all the way. I actually walked 6 hours non-stop
(12 miles ), 6am-noon...took a restroom break and walked 'till 2pm. Rode the
bike a couple of hours and walked, 4-6pm. Thanks to owner TONY DELUCA for
walking with me!
JUST LIKE MY TRAINER, MARCUS SANTI SAID, the 39 days leading up to the "Big
Finish" were preparation for yesterday - to push myself beyond what I
thought I could do.
Suddenly, it's over...not to worry, I'm not going out for a celebratory
pizza tonight. 40 days of "sobriety" from sugar and fast food is the
immediate benefit from this walk. GOD has other things in store as
well..some we'll know about, others we won't.
REMINDER FOR THOSE OF YOU IN LA, TONIGHT is the benefit concert for
Walk4ROCK at Hogue Barmichaels in Newport Beach..starts at 6pm, lots of top
LA area bands. Details at www. Walk4ROCK.org. Thanks to Tina, Nick, Regina
and Christie for all their HARD WORK...to Glen Megill,
for infecting me with the Africa "bug".
ONE MORE TIME ( for now )...PLZ pray about helping us HELP Africa.You may
give online at www.Walk4ROCK.org..... If I learned anything this past 40
days, it's that "losing our lives" to find them is PAINFUL, but mandatory
for any who would be a CHRIST FOLLOWER...
Rick Warren said it best ( go figure ) - "ARE YOU WILLING TO LIVE SIMPLY SO
THAT OTHERS MAY SIMPLY LIVE?" Go ahead, fast Starbucks for a month.....

It is CRUNCH TIME...the days, the hours, the minutes are flying by,
THUS the combined days again. Tomorrow is the BIG FINISH at Fit One Athletic
Club in Chico...
I began training there, it will end there. Owner Tony DeLuca and I will
attempt 12 hours on a treadmill, as we hope to raise AWARENESS & funds for
EMERGENCY food and medicine to take this Thanksgiving....
KAY WARREN (Rick's wife ), summed up this whole thing...
"On hearing about the situation in Africa, it's like my heart was put thru a
woodchipper, coming out in a million pieces I could never pick up - I'll
never be the same, I'm a seriously disturbed woman".
This best explains why I agreed to do this....I HAVE to do SOMETHING.
***THanks to LOCAL media - KNVN TV, the CHico ER ("Buzz" section Thursday ),
News & Review,
Fox News Radio....AND ....
Tomorrow, I'll be on KFSH in Los Angeles, the "Fish", 95.9FM, with my buddy,
JENNIFER YORK, and Billy Burke during the morning show...thanx to the
SALEMLA gang!!!
THose of you in Chico, listen to your HEART...help us raise $15,000 for food
and medicine for families you'll never meet..DEMONSTRATE YOUR THANKFULNESS
by helping feed starving children this Thanksgiving.

Last Week iz Here...wow.
Many of you are asking me if I'm going to keep walking and watching what I
eat...ah, yea! At church yesterday, we discussed Psalm 119, which lays out
the VALUE of ABIDING in the WORD....one of the benefits is, we begin to HATE
"wrong paths". Just as i read that, they brought in the doughnuts...TALK
ABOUT AN EXAMPLE! Eating what I know to be BAD for me is a "wrong
path"...and I currently HATE it.
THIS WEDNESDAY, we finish strong at FIT ONE Athletic Club, 6am-6pm, walking
the last 12 hours on a treadmill...club owner & good friend, TONY DELUCA
will walk with me...PLZ stop by and donate; we still need $15,000 for

Back in Chico tonight. Walked for an hour today in the John Wayne Airport,
before boarding...it was a full flight, sooo....the "B.O." factor was a bit
embarrassing. The pre-board scenario is all about who's coolest...I lost
again.

(Lake Forest, CA.)
Went to Saddleback Church today...wow...sat in an overflow room watching
Rick Warren on a TV.
He spoke about helping the poor. He asked this question...
"Are you willing to live SIMPLY, so that others may SIMPLY LIVE live?"
Powerful.
One of the things in that article on RICK and KAY WARREN in Christianity
Today that struck me was that because of the money they've made with THE
PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE, he has paid back his salary to the church for the past
20 years...AND they "reverse tithe" - give away 90%, and live on 10%....
We met with Steve Ruttenbar, the MISSIONS pastor at Saddleback, sharing my
40 day journey...they are in the middle of "40 Days of PEACE - Personal,
Local, and Global"...for more info check out www.saddleback.org.
I wrapped up the OC leg of the Walk today, and am flying back to Chico
tomorrow, to continue walking. My 40th day is Wednesday, October 19th ( BIG
FINISH @ FIT ONE ATHLETIC CLUB ).
**** Wanna ' say "hey" to DJ from Chico Therapy & Wellness in Chico...who
stopped by our table at the Huntington Beach Pier Saturday...way KOOL! Tell
Jay I'll be in - NEED a massage...

Okaaaay....I'm tired.
We walked a warm up 2 miles early and then 5.4 miles from the Huntington
Beach Pier to the Newport Beach Pier...7.4 total miles. The thing that kept
me going was knowing there is a Sharkeez Sports, ah, restaurant at the
Newport Pier. We got there in time to watch most of the 2nd half of the
USC-Arizona game!
On the way, we met "John the Baptist" hanging out at the beach..
....a homeless guy who had a cross stuck in the beach. He came up to me and
hugged me - I found myself pulling away, he was so dirty....he proceeded to
talk to us, and BLEW US AWAY. He was inspiring and FOR REAL...he prayed for
us, and we were on our way...a MODERN DAY JOHN THE BAPTIST, talking to
people who walk along the beach boardwalk...wow...
another day on this amazing journey.
Tomorrow, we attend Saddleback, joining them for their 40 Days of PEACE
...and then I will walk thru Lake Forest & Mission Viejo, hoping to
get in another 5-6 miles.
Christie, thank you for walking with me...keeping me entertained with tales
of Africa! Knees hurt today; gonna ice 'em down.

2nd Installment today...
Many of you have asked me why all of a sudden I'm obsessed with Africa; it's
hard to explain, I just "got it" one day and can't IGNORE what I now know
now...in a recent CHRISTIANITY TODAY article, KAY WARREN explains her
epiphany...
"In that moment, God shattered my heart; He just took my heart and put it
through a woodchipper...my heart came out the other side in more pieces than
I could gather back up in my arms...it changed the direction of my life. I
will never be the same. Never. I can never go back - I became a seriously
disturbed woman."
THAT DESCRIBES what happened to me in several hours of phone conversations
with ROCK OF AFRICA Director, Glen Megill. If I allow my self to dwell on
it, I'm "undone", I weep uncontrollably.
In an interesting footnote, when Kay told her husband Rick about her burden,
he said, "That's great, honey, I'll support you, it's not my vision." LOOK
WHAT SHE STARTED. The link to the article is below....

We've had a feeling there would be a BIG FINISH here, and it's happening....
Back from Sacramento...got kicked out of the Arco Arena parking lot - not
for WEARING my Laker jersey ( #34 O'Neal )... for TAKING it off as
requested....
As we have said, the immediate need is $17,000 for containers of EMERGENCY
food and medicine for Thanksgiving in Zimbabwe...CHECK THIS OUT...
1. Leslie Moller, a realtor in Chico, giving $500, and CHALLENGING all other
realtors ( ok anybody ) to do the same...REMEMBER, 40 X $500 = $20,000.
2.Greg Martin, RAY MORGAN COMPANY, emailed me, making a donation...
3. Barry Sherwood, SUNSET NET is making a donation...AND donating $30 to
Rock of Africa for every new DSL account referred by us! Call 530-879-5660.
4. Shelly McDermott, of Matthew's Cafe, is organizing a one hour Walk after
church, on Sunday,
Oct. 30th...1:30pm, One Mile Parking Lot, Bidwell Park. ...HOW ABOUT FASTING
THAT ONE MEAL, WALKING WITH US ? If we had 100 walkers each raising $100,
we'd have $10,000 TOWARD THE EMERGENCY FOOD AND MEDICINE needed for
Thanksgiving!!!
CHICO, you're comin ' STRONG...thank you!
THIS SATURDAY, WE'LL BE AT THE HUNTINGTON BEACH PIER, 9AM...walking thru
Newport & Balboa...join us if you can! Thanx again to the TEAM - Glen
Megill, Nico, Regina, Marcus & Tina...you have all made my life more
meaningful. You have seen me at my worst...I'm reminded of a passage from
ABBA'S CHILD ...
"Honesty is a precious commodity seldom found in the church. Is there anyone
I can level with? Anyone I dare tell that I am benevolent and malevolent,
chaste and randy, compassionate and vindictive, selfless and selfish, that
beneath my brave words lives a frightened child, that I dabble in religion
and pornography, that I have blackened a friend's character, betrayed a
trust, that I am tolerant and thoughtful, a bigot and a blowhard, that I
hate hard rock?" ( Brennan Manning )

of you in LA, Aaron is from Chico, the Packers' 1st round draft choice, the

I'm officially addicted to exercise...if I don't walk 2 hours a day, I feel

Hey Kidz,
Thanx to Terry Walling & the gang at Matthews' Cafe for allowing me to share
about Africa, and the 4o Day Walk...u rok.....shot video w/ Emmy Award
winning cameraman, TOM DASBACH , today...thanx to Melinda for being "Katie
Courac" !
As suspected, this is becoming more of a story every day as we near the 40
Day mark...Sacramento this week, back to the OC this Thursday to finish the
south Orange County part of the SoCal route over the weekend.....
I've been asked several times what I'm learning; here's a few
things.........
1. God is God. I'm ah....not so much.
2. Africans I've never met are more important than my credit rating.
3. "Losing my life" is NOT fun.
4. Hurricanes happen.
5. Starbucks' restrooms are the cleanest public restrooms; Burger King 2nd,
Shell stations, last.
6. It almost never rains in Southern California.
7. I REALLY can walk 10 miles!
8. I don't NEED sugar....
9. LA media not as important as an "audience of ONE".
10. "It's never for nothin'."
GOD is up to something....
PRAYER REQUEST - Two containers of food and medicine still need to get to
Zimbabwe; the need is $20,000...that's 20 folks giving $1,000...or 40 giving
$500. Feel free to call me with questions, or to donate, at the numbers

We all came into this with expectations; God, as is often the custom,
lovingly ignores our expectations and does His thing, ALWAYS in our best
interest. I was whining to our Walk4ROCK team the other day, and Regina
pointed out what God HAS done -
1. Allowed me to walk, virtually PAIN FREE ( after the 1st week! )...
2. Gave me MARCUS, to help me eat right ( and watch football at Sharkeez
with )...
3. Made folks more aware of the desperation in Africa....
4. Drew me out of my comfort zone, to walk, and literally save my life...
Thank you, Jesus....and Regina.
If you're feeling un-loved, overlooked, worried about the future, I DARE
you to take time several minutes a day, and repeat this phrase over and
over..."Abba, I belong to you." Seven syllables that WILL CHANGE your
life....
Gotta go get a massage from Chico Therapy and Wellness!
Yours on the Journey,

Days are flying by, again I'm surprised to find the walking so easy...once I
pushed through the 1st week where my body was screaming for me to stop, it
has gotten easier every day. It feels so good to feel my muscles again!
Eating has been another area of victory....I haven't had a soda or candy bar
in almost 3 weeks! I fit in a pair of jeans yesterday, I haven't fit it for
a year...SELF-CONTROL feels good! As we have said, at the very least, this
project is a self-induced "fat camp". Hopefully, we help Africa, as well.
Regarding the fundraising effort, its SLOW...Africa was a hard-sell before
Katrina & Rita - these days, it's much tougher....AWARENESS is being raised,
though, and that's good. SEVERAL NEW FOLKS are going to Africa with us over
Thanksgiving.
THE IMMEDIATE NEED is $20,000 for 2 containers of food and medicine, and
related expenses. These containers are the ones we NEED for THANKSGIVING.
Pray about helping....call me for more info...(714) 497-8518.

Back in the Northstate, where they HATE the Dodgers, Angels, Lakers,
Trojans.....
Having completed the LA/OC leg of the "California Tour, 2005", I am back in
Chico, continuing to walk, only in Bidwell Park, not a Freeway frontage
road! Those of you wanting to walk with me this Saturday...
...MEET ME at One Mile in the Park at 10am...I'll have t-shirts for a $25
donation....
I'll be here most of next week, and then back to the OC, as we wind this
adventure up. As you might imagine, KATRINA, and now RITA, have put Africa
on the back-burner..the tragedy, however, doesn't stop....
6,500 PEOPLE WILL DIE TODAY IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA...6,500 WILL DIE
TOMORROW...AND THE NEXT DAY, AND THE NEXT....THIS IS WHY WE WALK.

May be bringing the Walk back to Chico for a week, having completed the
LA/OC leg of the Walk...it's been promoted here in LA as the "California

Cloudy today early along Pacific Coast Highway; walked thru Malibu, Santa

walk each day! What a difference a week makes.
I walked thru the alley in Venice by the apartment Jim Morrison lived in (
big mural of Jimbo on the wall )...it was on the beach at Venice, the "Doors
of Perception", later just the "Doors"...were born...also met some some kool
folks ( see www.Walk4ROCK.org)....

Thanx to Aaron Cohen, my trainer/therapist, Marcus Santi, and the

walking yesterday...NOT SO today...
Walked 6.8 miles today. I now know I will walk 10 miles in one day
soon...the route winds down thru Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Torrance,
Long Beach, Seal Beach and back to Huntington Beach THIS FRIDAY!
I find it ironic the PHYSICAL aspect of this walk is the easiest. TOUGH day

this SENSE God in it...we're just not sure WHAT He's doing...or when...or

Greetings from Pasadena,
Started at 9:30 this morning, walked another 3 and 1/2 hours...knees,
joints, chest feel fine. It seems the more hours I walk each day, the easier
it gets. I was sitting at a bus stop, and a producer from the"The Simple
Life" w/ Paris Hilton approached me...asked if I had a family here in LA; he
was looking for a family to host the show...fame is so fleeting.
I got thru Pasadena yesterday; on target to get thru Burbank/Glendale
today...Hollywood tomorrow!

Greetings from Historic "Route 66",
Picked up in Azusa today on Foothill Blvd, the 'ole Route 66...walked THREE
and a HALF HOURS...felt great! My body is starting to think I'm
serious...knees, ankles, no pain; chest fine.
Walked thru Azusa, Irwindale, Duarte, and Monrovia....as I write this, I'm
in a hotel room with an "up close" view of a 210 Freeway
onramp...BREATHTAKING literally. Met some REALLY cool homeless folks today (
check www.Walk4ROCK.org for PIX )...kind of confusing on the streets - some
homeless folks are YELLING at no one in particular...others are yelling into
their CELL PHONES!
Only in LA....
Crossed the San Gabriel River today, with RUNNING WATER IN IT....talk about
the JOURNEY WITHIN THE JOURNEY...my trainer, Marcus Santi, told me today
that now that I've set aside this 40 days for God to speak to me without
distractions, FOOD BEING A HUGE ONE FOR ME...buckle my seat belt.....I am
enjoying conversing with Him, not much else to do each day - walk and
listen....
HEY CHICOANS >>>>
THANKS TO LESLIE MOLLER FOR THE ENCOURAGING EMAIL THIS MORNING - MUCH
NEEDED,
U ROK! SPEAKING OF CHICO....we're looking for someone up there to be our
TEAM LEADER, organizing phone committees to call and ask businesses for
sponsorships for me....
thus far, Chico businesses and individuals have kicked down about
$2,000...since our goal iz a MILLION...I'm hoping for "MY HOMIES" to step up
and GO YARD - $20,000????? Call us if interested,
714-497-8588 or 714-658-3477.
SHOULD GET INTO PASADENA TOMORROW, AIMING FOR BURBANK, HOLLYWOOD, BEVERLY
HILLS THIS WEEKEND....wanna' come walk over the weekend?
I'm reading THE BARBARIAN WAY, Unleashing the Untamed Faith Within, by Erwin
McManus, pastor of the Mosaic here in LA...pretty much the book that
convinced me to do this...
"Christianity over the past 2 thousand years has moved from a tribe of
renegades to a religion of conformists. Those who choose to follow Jesus
become participants in an insurrection. To claim we believe is simply not
enough - the call of Jesus demands action. Jesus is calling us to places
only DEAD MEN & WOMEN can GO..." Erwin McManus
Hoping to attend Mosaic this Sunday, since I'll be in the 'hood (
literally!) Gotta' go ice down.

Not so many lost dog posters on light poles today...walked thru La Habra,
La Habra Heights, Rowland Heights, into the City of Industry...a solid
ALMOST 3 hours. Knees and ankles felt fine...
...had some chest tightness & light-headedness at the end...going to go to
the doctor tomorrow-
just to be sure...TALK ABOUT YOUR GOOD TIMING, Marcus Santi, professional
sports trainer, arrived today from Memphis to help me....
As I was walking today, watching all the Mercedes and SUV's whiz by me...I
reflected on HOW MUCH WE HAVE. As I monitored my hunger today ( day 4 of
fruit, veggies, water ), I discovered I didn't REALLY get hungry much...IT's
JUST ALL AROUND US - radio & billboards beckoning us to cram yet another

today; will ice down knees and ankles tonight.
WE walked through a rough part of Anaheim today..as with most of America's

There was a memorial to a young man who had been slain on the
sidewalk...candles, flowers, etc...
Tomorrow the "Two-A-Days" begin...8-10am and 4-6pm...between the walks we'll
go to businesses and drop off info on what we're doing....I went to Rock
Harbor Church today...very kool church...
Got this verse today, " In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord
determines his steps". Prov 16:9...this thing is a WIN WIN...hopefully we
help Africa - and I'm learning to live WITHOUT sugar, fast food, diet soda!
