Thom

MOSTLY DUE to the devastation experienced from a failed marriage, but also a result of the disillusionment caused by the church, the creator and founder of The Wayfarers Journal, Thom prayerfully decides to dispose of all his possessions, depart the city where he had been since early childhood, leave the only life he had ever known, bid farewell to family, friends and then live at need level while he quests to find the meaning of life.
THE initial part of this quest, while walking the Appalachian Trail helps him to dispose of the self-defeating attitudes acquired in the world during the previous decades.
HELPING him to accomplish his desire to dispose of these attitudes, he carries and reads a King James Version Bible, a small one that his mother has purchased for him.
WHILE walking upon this trail, he enjoys his Bible reading so much that more often than not, he would talk with others about what he was learning and thereafter came to be affectionately dubbed the preacher by many of his hiking companions.
