It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.
--St. Francis of Assisi
This a page dedicated to our friend, George Florian Walter. He's a modern day Pilgrim who trusts in the Lord and is filled with the joy and peace of Christ. I'd like to share, on this page, some of his story with you. Please look for him, on the highways and byways......lifting the cross of Jesus for all to see. Stop and talk with him. You'll be glad that you did!
--Please check out my guestbook, for some comments people have been sending, regarding Pilgrim George and the impact he has.

Pilgrim George with Linda Randles of the website, Randles Station (see above link to her web pages).
Pilgrim George, myself, and my son Levi.
"Dear St. Anthony, we are all pilgrims. We came from God and we are going to Him. He who created us will welcome us at journey's end. The Lord Jesus is preparing a place for all His brothers and sisters. St. Anthony, Guide of Pilgrims, direct my steps in the straight path. Protect me until I am safely home in heaven. Help me in all my needs and difficulties...."
