Bikers To Ohio

Very early this morning I rode my Harley to nearby Hardees to meet with several bikers from my church. For months we have been planning a trip to Ohio to attend the Biker Weekend at Grove City Church of the Nazarene in Columbus. This year they expect more than 10,000 bikers from around the country to attend this event. Unfortunately, because of my chemo schedule, I was unable to make the trip with them. After enjoying some fellowship over a cup of coffee, I welcomed the privilege of joining hands with them in a circle and praying God's blessings over them and their trip. I have to admit that my heart ached as I watched them pull out of the parking lot without me, but I promised them that I would be healthy enough to accompany them next year with God's help! Please remember them in your prayers today. They will ride to Marietta, Ohio, today, then on to Columbus tomorrow morning.

Thanks for your prayers on my behalf today. Usually, this is my worst post-chemo day, but today has been very mild. I feel strong, and I am looking forward to preaching in both of the morning services this coming Sunday at Midland Valley! This is the day that the Lord has made! I am rejoicing! Are you? I love you!
