Hi all,
Thank you for visiting the site. The dead end that appeared in CA. seems to have gone away, at least for now. When ever I've needed any thing on this journey, it has always been provided. This is now my 8th bicycle. This is why my experience in CA. was confusing. After one night at the Salvation Army Shelter, I again realized how grateful I am for warm blankets and fresh air. I am glad they have the shelters, but please people don't ever think people who stay at them have very much comfort as any personal dignity. You can say "those people deserve what they get and they should be grateful" well, I will remind anyone who reads this "blessed are the merciful". I do thank God that I was able to get out of the cold, and I thank the volunteers and workers who help keep the shelter open. The unpleasant enviorment which is present at almost all shelters is not their fault. I'm on this journey for a reason, and I hope by me telling you that these places are hard on the spirit and could be nicer for the clients.
I woke up this morning to a flat tire. The family that purchased the bicycle also provided 2 spare tubes, and a wrench.Thank you God for your provision. After getting on the road, I counted cars going by the sign at about 35 cars a minute. I made it to a MacDonald's after about a 3 mile bike ride. Before I was able to lock the bicycle up, a lady gave me a 1.00 for my soft drink. I feel God's blessing on the ministry returning. Several people noticed the sign.
Last night I was able to witness to a man named John for about an hour. Please pray fro him he is in a wheel chair, has lost feeling in his legs and arms. One leg is already gone. A few weeks ago they thought he would lose his other one. He has lost his faith in God and the church. I reemphasized that the way some people who claim to be Christians act is not Christ's fault. He taught Love God, love your niebhor as yourself as the most important aspects of our existence. We all need to continually check our own fruit, but also not condemn our savior for those that don't live by his most important teaching. "How would I want to get treated if I were this person?" We can't please everyone, but loving God with all our hearts, souls, and mines, will go along way pleasing him. I', reading a new book called " Jesus Did It anyway". I'll let you know how I liked it. Sign still say es " All that need God are blessed?" It invites thoughts on the "B" attitudes and the psalms.
