110

So yesterday was a day. you might say. hey hey hey.

We ahd to wake up extra early so that we could be out of the house by 630am. We had to go 110 miles and be in Charleston by 5pm. We actually made it out by 640am, which is a feat for us. The Lord answered our prayers and the weather was truly wonderful. A cool day, and we knocked out 80 miles before lunch. You might be saying, wow those kids are incredible...well we are. THanks be to God. At lunch we studied the passage where Jesus is talking to the little children and the disciples are telling them to go away; it opened up a lot of discussion on what childlike faith is and how we can achieve it.

Andy and Lewie took some serious spills. Andy's elbow was pretty whack and Lewie's gearshifter was bent up pretty bad. But they, like true men, prevailed. Gordon had some knee troubles, and actually rode 5 miles only using one leg! So be praying that he is healed so that he can continue riding.

We also met Bob, who was riding from the Florida Keys to Canada. 41 years old and still living the dream. Bryan and Emily had to turn the RV around on a very small country road, which, as you might imagine, was a task. GOrdon got chased by 3 dogs, then had to turn around and when he got back, there were three more. And these were not your everyday cute little house puppies. These kats (dogs) were showin teeth and just waiting for Gordon. It's like they knew he was going to come back. Mark and Lewie met Officer Reed, and Mark went up to him on the road and said "Officer, we aren't going to fast are we?" Officer Reed said, "No no no! You guys are fine. What are you guys doing anyway?" Bam. Another opportunity. Bryan finally found his precious Dunkin Donuts coffee that he has been desperately searching for for three days.

We finally finished the 110; it took about 12 hours, 8 solid hours on the bikes. We arrived at the house and it was incredible. We showered and went to a college group Bible study to present. Lewie led a Bible Study on Matthew 9:34-39. Bryan, Jenna, and Gordon did an incredible job of sharing about She's My Sister and everyone was really touched. Be praying that God continues to work in their lives. Really, a very moving night.

Next we have only 75 miles! It all seems so easy now. Keep checking out our tweets! Get constant updates throughout the day. Peace
