    The Booth In The Back | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep61

    The Booth in the Back is where you go when you don’t want to be the first thing someone sees when they walk through the door. I know this because I’ve sat in it. Not always. But enough times to understand what it means to choose the corner over the counter. To want the coffee without the conversation. To need the room around you without needing to be part of it. Every diner on Route 66 has one. The booth in the back that fills last and empties first and spends most of its time holding the people the rest of the room isn’t paying much attention to. I’ve made it a habit to notice that booth. Not to intrude on it. Just to notice it. One morning outside of Williams there was a woman in the back booth with a cold cup of coffee and a notebook open in front of her that she wasn’t writing in. I didn’t go over. That’s not what the booth in the back is for. But I asked the waitress on the way out. She’d lost her husband six months back and the diner was the right amount of noise without requiring anything from her. This week’s Roadside Notes is about being seen without being required to perform for the person seeing you. One of the quietest kindnesses one person can offer another. The booth in the back is full of people who need it. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/11/05/the-booth-in-the-back/ 🎙️ 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 Long Way Home | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep60

    Some roads take you straight there. Others take you somewhere better. I met a man on Route 66 who knew exactly where he was going and decided the direct route wasn’t the only one worth taking. He had a destination. He had people waiting. He had a loss sitting on him the way losses do when you haven’t had a quiet minute to let them land. So he took the long way. Three days. A coffee pot that stayed on long enough for him to remember who he was before he had to go be who everyone needed him to be. The Long Way Home isn’t about being lost. It’s about not being ready yet. And sometimes that’s the bravest thing a person can do. This week’s Roadside Notes is for anyone who has ever needed a few more miles before they could walk through the door. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/10/03/the-long-way-home/ 🎙️ 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 Tip Nobody Left | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep59

    The Tip Nobody Left wasn’t money. The table was cleared. The check was paid. The dollar bills were there under the edge of the coffee mug right where they were supposed to be. The tip nobody left was something else entirely and it didn’t cost a thing. I watched a table clear out one morning. Four people. Long breakfast. Lots of refills. The kind of table that spreads out and settles in and keeps the waitress moving for the better part of an hour. They laughed a lot. They were having a good time. When they finally got up and gathered their things and headed for the door not one of them looked back at her. Not a word. Not a nod. Not a thank you. She came over and cleared the table the way she always cleared it. Efficient. Quiet. She’d been doing this long enough to not need the acknowledgment to get through the shift. But that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t have mattered. That’s the tip nobody left. The look back. The thank you said like it meant something. The thirty seconds it costs a person to acknowledge that another human being just spent an hour taking care of them. This week’s Roadside Notes is about that tip. The free one. The one that follows somebody home. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/10/22/the-tip-nobody-left/ 🎙️ 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

    More Than A Thursday | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep58

    More Than a Thursday is something I’ve been wanting to say for a while now. A year in, fifty two episodes behind us, and somewhere along the way this counter stool became more than a weekly stop. It became a place I keep coming back to because the writing won’t stay in one lane and the road keeps handing me more than one journal can hold. So I opened a few more doors. Same diner. Same voice. Just more seats at the table. Grace To Go lands every Sunday morning before most people are fully awake. A short scripture rooted reflection written the way I’d say it if we were sitting across from each other over coffee that’s still hot. No church background required. Grace on the Ground is the Wednesday companion. One small act of kindness tied to Matthew 25 Lives. Something real. Something anybody can do. And Still Pouring is me stepping behind the counter and telling you what I see from this side of the coffee pot. My story. My road. The things chaplain work teaches you that don’t show up in any training manual. All of it lives at roadsidenotes.substack.com. All of it is free. All of it is yours. The counter is bigger than it used to be but the coffee is always on. Pull up a stool anytime. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/10/15/more-than-a-thursday/ 🎙️ 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 #GraceToGo #GraceOnTheGround #StillPouring #KindnessForTheRoad #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66 #matthew25lives

    The Loop Ends | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep57

    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
