Preacher lives homeless for a week

The Rev. Rodger McDaniel took an interesting route to start his retirement. After retiring, he walked across town and checked himself into COMEA House, the local homeless shelter. McDaniel, the preacher at the Highlands United Presbyterian Church, wanted to get out of his comfort zone to start the new year so he lived as a homeless person in Cheyenne for a week. At the end of the week, he walked from the shelter across town to his church to deliver a sermon to his congregation.
