Quote for the day: "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." Winston Churchill
Only 41.3 miles, but it's a start. We dipped the tire at Huntington Beach after driving from Turlock and I was on my way up the Santa Anna River Trail to Corona. I had a tailwind and the ride was enjoyable after some hectic final preparation. Tomorrow we head for the desert. I want to especially thank the men and staff of Teen Challenge who held a very special prayer service on Monday afternoon for Cindy and me. Also my best friend, Randy Fiorini, was able to participate through a speaker phone. It was so special and Cindy and I were very moved by it all. Randy read some verses from Isaiah 41 that especially blessed me. He has supported me in every way possible way in this project. Thanks Randy!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT??
ReplyDeleteYesterday I dropped Jimmy off at the beach and then drove to Corona in the powerful truck on the freeways of LA and Jimmy almost beat me to the motel.
And I was the one who needed counseling!!

ReplyDeleteHello Jimmy & Cindy,
ReplyDeleteThe 4th of July was uneventful in California.
We brought a Swiss heifer to Hilmar Holsteins this evening to make the trip to Tillamook,Oregon. After We then stopped along Crowslanding road to see the Fire works only to find out after it was pitch dark that Modesto held them last night. I quess we need to read the paper more. Thought of you and Cindy when the full moon appeared. We pray for your safe journey and after reading the blog We will start praying for better biycle tires or cleaner roadways.
Received the Teen Challenge Vision 200 newsletter last week. Wow! what great testamony from the graduates about the Healing Grace of our lord.
Good Bless you both for your service in this area.
