Walking the ‘Path of Paul’

JACKSONVILLE — Drivers on U.S. Highway 79 this week may have seen a middle aged man walking down the side of the road with a red wagon. 

Most first thoughts would venture to the idea that he was homeless, but this was not the case this week.

Michael Stuckey is a Mineral Wells native, and to him, the roads he walks are his home. 

“I walk through cities and towns like Jacksonville in hopes of preaching to whoever will stop and listen, walking in the ways of the apostle Paul,” Stuckey said. 

The reason he walks the 26,100 miles he has logged since March 15, 2003, is because God has called him to preach to everyone he can. 

So — he walks with his red wagon pulled behind him as his home and camps on the side of the road at night in an attempt to make a difference in someone’s life. 

Stuckey claims no denomination, just an obligatory sense of pride and natural humbleness in his Jesus Christ. 

Stuckey said he will keep walking going where the Lord leads him to go.

“I’m not real sure which way I’m going or where my destination is,” he said. “I will know when I get there.”

To him his journey will end one day, but until then he will still be somewhere walking and preaching to whoever will listen.
