Bike Trip and More
Well, tomorrow I leave for the start of the bike trip. Since I am driving the truck and it will probably take about 20 hours (slow speed of the truck, plus stopping at all the weigh stations, agriculture inspection stations, etc) to get to Cumberland, MD, I will depart Saturday afternoon after the truck is completely loaded. I hope to get 5 or 6 hours of driving done so that Sunday will not be so long.I figure with the main group leaving at 5:30 am on Sunday (hopefully, I'll still be sleeping soundly in my motel room at that time), they will catch up with me somewhere along the way on Sunday before I get to Cumberland.
I'm really excited about this, but there is a downside to being gone. By the time we get back from the bike trip, many others will have departed on summer mission trips and they will be greatly missed. I know for a fact that Calyn and Lori will already have departed for their trip to Ukraine (Lori, I left the "The" off just for you). I'm not sure when Janelle leaves for her trip, but she might be gone also. I want everyone to know that I'll be praying for your safety and for the work you will be doing. You (not just the ones I mentioned, but all the others going on mission trips) truly are "good and faithful servants" and I salute you.
I do ask everyone to keep the bike trip in their prayers. Specifically, pray for: safe travel to and from the bike trip; safety on the biking portion of the trip; good weather; and for the program that will be performed and that it's messages reach the audiences.

That's so sweet. You left the "the" off. We knew you'd come around, Mr. Jim. :0) I just played my mom the X-box commercial and she was laughing so hard. It's just awesome.
Calyn,
She'll laugh harder when she sees the outtakes of you trying to light the xbox. :)
Okay, so I'm not good with fire. My momma always said if you play with fire you're gonna get burned. So, unlike Christian and Daniel I have not had experience lighting explosives and throwing them and disregarding the instructions. It was a first for me.
Gee, I learned how to graffiti walls and use explosives in just one week of helping with the drama team. I'm on my way to becomming quite a delinquent. See what happens when Mr. Donnie takes off?
