What Is GHAWG?
#GHAWG is short for "God's Hog: A Watchful Guardian." This fictional story tells how David Guardia, a courier and business owner from Bayonne, New Jersey, US moved into the next phase of his life after spending the final ten years of his ailing father's life helping him.
More details can be found in the first post of this weekly recap.

Before we left Newkirk behind, we noticed the makeshift wooden sign post which read GOD β€οΈ IS REAL . After our experiences-- even Lindsay's-- we had to stop here to memorialize this moment first with prayer and then with pics. |
---|
ποΈ David Guardia is, among other things, a prophet of The Lord as he makes his Epic Ride. Rhonda Bella Guardia is an integral part of this mission for him, and she has her own role as a dreamer. Brothers Marchenko, Sanjay Rampersad, and Lionel Odunsi have witnessed The Lord acting through David when The Courier delivered the message from the uncanny Manny Rey to Harry Hoqualogue of The Mongols at STURGIS. Lindsay Etxeberria came to have her own experiences with The Lord via David during her ride from Portland, Oregon, US to Riverside, California, US after she abandoned her life as a far-left activist. ποΈ This is the sign which inspired this zapfic entry and the one after this: ![]() It's simple, humble, and understated. Yet in its own way, it is meaningful when seen in person. |

As had been our habit since leaving Portland, I lead the prayers and we each had our turn. When it was Lindsay's turn, she prayed this: "Thank you, Lord, for the watchful guardians you placed in my path back to you." "Amen." |
---|
ποΈ It's not obvious from the entry, but people can join in offering their thanks and intentions; it's optional, but usually everyone has some intention for which prayer is needed. Lindsay Etxeberria has much for which to be grateful. Not only would she not have a clean slate by which she can start her life anew, but had it not been for the accidental encounter she had in Iowa with David and (at the time) Rhonda Bella, she would have been left for dead. |

About 32 miles east of Newkirk was Tucumcari. A picturesque town in more ways than one, we took our time riding through here as we documented in photographs nearly all we saw. This included the small 3-level Route 66 Pyramid. |
---|
ποΈ Tucumcari is one of the more picturesque places in New Mexico, namely for the creative paintings, murals, and artwork which can be seen. Due to how recent it is, this modern addition to Tucumcari caught my attention and inspired this zapfic entry:![]() |

"What is it, Rhonda?" "It's been a while, David, but I had one of my dreams." Quickly in our marriage I learned to trust Rhonda on "her dreams"; I squeezed her for reassurance. "What did you see?" "Flying lions. 7 of them." |
---|
ποΈ It was because of one of "her dreams" that Rhonda Bella met David Guardia. It was that "dream" which led "The Shieldmaiden" to meet The Templar in Davenport, Iowa, US rather than their chance encounter previously in Defiance, Ohio, US when David only knew her as a very tall redhead. |
4οΈβ£6οΈβ£8οΈβ£ 2024-May-30 00:26:39 (gap near 2024-04-14 @ Tucumcari, NM)
"Seven flying lions," I said; Rhonda confirmed. "That could mean Felix Legion," I suggested. "Us, The Twins, & The Kids. Did the lions do anything else?" "All 7 lions roared before I woke up." "Sounds good to me," I told her. |
---|
ποΈ The number 7 has a special meaning across cultures and faith systems. It's also the number of members in Felix Legion. As for the lions, that goes back to the logo David Guardia designed for Felix Legion. This itself goes back to {Legio Quarta Flavia Felix}, the incarnation of the 4th Legion founded by Roman Emperor Vespasian in 70 A. D.; the animal associated with "Legion 4 Lucky Flavians" was the lion. |

"Whatever will happen to Felix Legion will happen soon," I tell Rhonda. "When it happens, we will come out of it OK. If not, your dream would have noted that discrepancy." "That's true," she confirmed. "The Lord is with us." |
---|
ποΈ Not that David Guardia is an expert at interpreting dreams, but he's adequate enough to be able to offer reassurances to his wife. Part of that is due to his own-- limited-- prophetic abilities. Thanks to her own experiences in the time she has known David, now her husband, Rhonda Bella Guardia knows enough to know that The Lord is with them. |

"After how you handled the bear that night in California," said Rhonda, "my faith in The Lord had been reaffirmed." "As opposed to all that happened to us at STURGIS?" We looked at each other, paused for a moment, then laughed. |
---|
ποΈ While their encounter in California with a bear in at night could have ended tragically, it was a mundane experience compared to the momentary mayhem David Guardia faced in STURGIS when he was delivering that message from the uncanny Manny Rey to Harry Hoqualogue. Not only was he getting beaten to a pulp, but he almost received a Magnum 0.44 caliber bullet which could have ended his life then and there. Both David and Rhonda know these details, and their shared moment with the bear brought them amusement at this moment. |

Story Arc So Far
Our Heroes, recently reconfigured as the reduced and more mobile Felix Legion, cross into Texas and reach the "midway point" of Old Route 66, but not before passing Amarillo, Texas, US along the way.
More zapfic entries for this week were made to supplement (if not "re-do") the New Mexico portion of the ride east along Old Route 66. Taking place in New Mexico east of Santa Fe, the final four set up the action to be covered in next week's post.
