Quote for the day: "Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die." Douglas MacArthur
We made 118.5 miles through northwest Florida today. We probably could have pushed it a little more, but as we get close to the end, I'm not going to overdo it. We had good conditions, but the humidity down here can play tricks with your body. I was a little anxious as we started today, but we got to see some beautiful farmland. Cotton and peanuts were the crops of the day.
I was thinking this morning at 4 AM as we were getting up, having some coffee, and reading our daily devotions. We are reading devotions by Dietrech Bonhoffer the German theologian of the 1930's and 40"s. Cindy is reading his contrast between humanity and spirituality. I'm looking over in the corner of the motel room wondering if the bike tires went flat overnight. Bonhoffer likely had a Nazi guard with a gun pointed at him as he was writing. What do we have in common? Not much you say. Well I beg to differ. We serve the same God: holy, sovereign, and totally in control.

Great Job Jimmy,
ReplyDeleteWe were talking last night after the Gospel Concert at the Ranch about your ride and where you were at. I told the guys that you were in great shape and with your training, desire for Teen Challenge and your faith in God you were doing something that would last a life time in helping TC. Almost done. Hang in there and take note that we are cheering you on and praying that God gives you the strength. All of us are looking forward to celebrating with you and Cindy on your ride acrose that USA. As someone has said in the past,"Great Job thy good and faithful servent".
