    The Loop Ends | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep 57

    The Loop Ends When You Do. I didn't come up with that. I heard it years ago from someone who said it the way people say things when they've lived it rather than read it. It stayed with me the quiet way the useful ones do. Until the right moment pulled it forward. That moment showed up at a diner counter on Route 66 sitting next to a truck driver named Frank. Same dispatcher. Same reassigned load. Same promotion that went sideways fifteen years ago. Same slow burn that hadn't cooled one degree in all the time I'd known him. Frank wasn't a bitter man by nature. Funny. Sharp. The kind of road veteran who could read weather and traffic and people with equal accuracy. But he had this one loop he couldn't find his way out of and every time I saw him he was still in it. A friend had once tried to help by pulling out the definition of insanity. Frank didn't receive that well. He told me the whole story with the same energy he told the dispatcher story, which was a pretty good illustration of the very point the friend was trying to make. Truth delivered like a judgment closes doors. That's not the quote's fault. That's just how people work. This week's Roadside Notes is about the version that lands different. And the day the loop finally ends. 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66 #matthew25lives

    The Man Who Collected Happy | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep56

    The Man Who Collected Happy didn't call it that. That's just what it was. He traveled for work but somewhere along the way he had made a decision that a few extra days and a road worth taking was worth the longer itinerary. So he took the long way. Every time. And every diner he stopped in, every counter stool he climbed onto, he asked the same question. What makes you happy. Not as small talk. Not as a conversation starter he'd forget before the coffee arrived. He actually wanted to know. He listened, filed it away, and when he got home he went through what he'd collected and looked for things he could apply to his own life. Happiness as field research. Joy as something worth studying in the people who had found it. Then he sat down next to me and asked me the question. I didn't have to think about it long. Helping others is my inner peace. That's the whole answer. He wrote it down. Then he asked what that looked like in practice. So I told him about Matthew 25 Lives. About thirty years in radio and television doing public giving with cameras and headcounts and dollar values. And about the moments that actually stayed with me. The quiet ones. The note left at a counter. The conversation that went longer than planned. No camera. No broadcast. Just a smile given and one received and neither one of us will ever forget it. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: [URL TO COME] 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66 #matthew25lives

    The Empty Stool | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep55

    The Empty Stool was the last seat in the house. Every other spot at the counter was taken and the booths were full and the lunch crowd was moving fast and not paying much attention to the young man who slid onto that last stool like he was trying to take up as little space as possible. He didn't want to be there. Not in the diner, not in the conversation, not in whatever day he was having. He ordered coffee. Didn't look at the menu. Didn't look at me. Stared at the counter the way people stare at things when they're not actually seeing them. I didn't push. I never push. But I did what I've learned to do in those moments. I paid attention and I stayed present and before I left I wrote something down on a piece of paper and left it where he'd find it after I was gone. I didn't know if it would land. You never do. You just leave the note and trust the road. A few weeks later I came back to that diner and a waitress came around the counter and said she needed to tell me something. The young man on the empty stool was her nephew. She had watched the whole thing. She said something shifted in him after that day. Then she went behind the counter and came back with a slice of pie and said she owed me pie for a lifetime and she intended to make good on it. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/09/24/the-empty-stool/ 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66 #matthew25lives

    Mile Zero | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep54

    Mile Zero doesn't look like much. It's just a driveway. A cup of coffee going cold in the cupholder. A map you've already looked at three times even though you don't really need it. The engine running. The garage door still open behind you like it's giving you one last chance to change your mind. That's Mile Zero. And it's the most honest moment of any journey. I met a woman at a gas station just outside of Kingman who was standing next to her car with both hands wrapped around a paper coffee cup staring at the highway like it owed her an answer. She wasn't lost. She wasn't broken down. She was just at Mile Zero and taking her time about leaving it. I asked her where she was headed. She smiled and said she wasn't completely sure yet. Said she figured the road would sort out the specifics once she got moving. I told her that was about the smartest thing I'd heard all week. This week's Roadside Notes is about the moment before the first turn. The wide open unwritten nature of a morning that hasn't made up its mind. You don't need the whole map. You don't need every answer. You just need enough courage to back out of the driveway and point it forward. The road takes care of the rest. It always has. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/09/17/mile-zero/ 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66 #matthew25lives

    The Regular | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep53

    The Regular doesn't always have a name on the sign out front. But everybody inside knows who he is. He's the one who comes in at the same time, sits in the same spot, orders the same thing, and tips the same way every single time. Not because he's a creature of habit. Because he's a creature of commitment. There's a difference and the people behind the counter know it even if they've never put words to it. Every diner on Route 66 has one. The man in the corner booth every Tuesday morning at seven. The woman who always gets the soup and always stays for a second cup. The truck driver who hits the same stop every westbound run and always asks about the cook's grandkids by name. They're not famous. They're not trying to be. They just keep coming back and that turns out to be everything. This is episode fifty three. One year of showing up every Thursday without a paywall, without a pitch, without asking anything except a few minutes of your time and whatever the road put in front of both of us that week. This week's Roadside Notes is about what it means to be The Regular. For a diner. For a person. For anything worth returning to. And why reliable turns out to be one of the most remarkable things a person can be. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/09/10/the-regular/ 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66 #matthew25lives

    The Man Who Was the Building | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep52

    The Man Who Was the Building didn't introduce himself. He didn't need to. You understood who he was the moment you walked through the door at Hackberry General Store and saw him moving behind the counter with the quiet ease of someone who had been doing this long enough that the place and the person had become the same thing. Mary and I had stopped in on one of those Route 66 afternoons where the plan is loose and the road is doing the deciding. While we were there a group came in from somewhere far enough away that English wasn't the first thing they reached for. He didn't hesitate. Didn't look for someone else to handle it. He just moved toward them the way he moved toward everyone else and started doing what he did. Pointing. Nodding. Smiling the specific smile of a man who has learned that kindness doesn't actually require words to travel. They understood him perfectly. Because genuine welcome doesn't have an accent. The towns that refused to die didn't survive on their own. They survived because somebody inside them refused to leave. Refused to stop caring. Refused to let the bypass have the last word. He was that somebody for Hackberry. This week's Roadside Notes is about what it looks like when a person and a place become the same thing. And what the counter looks like from both sides. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/09/03/the-man-who-was-the-building/ 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66 #matthew25lives #Route66Centennial

    The Boy Who Wanted to Watch | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep51

    The Boy Who Wanted to Watch wasn't causing trouble. He just wanted to see everything. The lifts going up. The air guns spinning lug nuts off. The machines that balanced the tires. Jacob was seven years old and the whole place was a laboratory and nobody had told him yet that he was supposed to sit still and look at a screen. I was only supposed to be there five minutes. Tire pressure check on my way through Kingman. In and out. Back on the road. That was the plan until I walked into the waiting area and saw a young woman trying to hold herself together while simultaneously trying to keep a very curious seven year old from pressing his nose against every window in the place. Her name was Terry. She had blown a tire just outside of Kingman on I-40. She was a waitress, a part time dental hygiene student, and a single mom on her way to New Mexico to bury someone she loved. Jacob needed someone to take his questions seriously and answer them straight. Terry needed someone to tell her she was in a good place and that she was going to be okay. Neither of those things took a lot. They just took showing up and paying attention and being willing to stay a little longer than planned. My five minute stop turned into an hour I never planned and wouldn't trade. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/08/27/the-boy-who-wanted-to-watch/ 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66 #matthew25lives

    The Centennial Seeker | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep50

    The Centennial Seeker found me before I found him. I was halfway through breakfast at a Route 66 diner when I heard him ask the waitress about the towns. The ones that had every reason to dry up and blow away and somehow didn't. She listened politely, smiled, and pointed right at me. So he pulled up a stool and we got to talking. Pete from Kentucky wasn't really asking about the towns at all. He was asking about himself. Twenty two years of sixty hour weeks and a morning where he finally looked up from the work long enough to realize he couldn't remember the last time he had done something just because he wanted to. He didn't ease into it. Didn't plan a sabbatical. He just stopped. Handed in his notice, packed what fit in the car, and pointed it west. Two flat tires before he hit the Oklahoma state line. A water pump that gave up in the middle of nowhere. A cracked windshield courtesy of a truck tire outside of Holbrook. And a breakfast on a curb in Flagstaff with a homeless woman that he called one of the best twenty minutes of the whole trip. This week's Roadside Notes is about what happens when the weight of everything you've been carrying gets heavier than the fear of letting it go. The towns that refused to die didn't survive because everything went right. They survived because the people in them learned to sit with the hard parts long enough to find what was still worth saving. Pete from Kentucky was doing the same thing. One mile at a time. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/08/20/the-centennial-seeker/ 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66 #matthew25lives #Route66Centennial
