The evening before the run – a run on motorcycles that will cross from sea to shining sea – a run that will include hundreds of bikes – a run to remind the nation of our POW (Prisoners of War) and MIA’s (Missing In Action) of all wars – a run that we will handle thousands of bottles of water, Gatorade, snacks and fruit – a run that will at times be dangerous and tiring but A RUN THAT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS A PERSON CAN DO TO BUILD AND SECURE HIS LOVE FOR THE USA!
We have our team in place – we have all four vehicles ready – all the trailers are ready and we are full of fuel prepared to go and all twelve bikes are fueled and ready! I have attached pictures of some of the folks that helped with the meal tonight. A picture of one of the three cakes that was presented to us. (not sure you can attach the video of the crowd and entertainment).
We all had our pockets full of “Biker Blessing” stickers and had very few left after it was all over. I was so blessed as I put my hand on the shoulder of men and touched their bike and prayed for the Lord to bless the rider, keep him safe until he had fulfilled his God-given destiny and quote Ps. 91 in part over him.
Stay tuned for daily updates as we cross this nation! Pray for us all. By the way, we had one of brothers hit an eighteen wheeler last night when his throttle stuck wide open. Our report – one broken leg and a bad bruise but no head injury!! We are all thanking God.
