This is my friend “Banjo Steve,” he’s not a believer in Christ but he was very kind to me in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood.

We await our final journey home by Christ’s return or the ship of death carrying us to Christ.
Steve is a part of a community called “travelers,” sort of the great grandbabies of both the beat generation and the hippies That travel the country on trains buses cars and hitchhiking.
