[Photos: not in time order
- a shot of the group riding down the road after entering FL this afternoon (taken low from handlebar level.
- one of the churches we passed today, there were three people waiting on the porch for us to pass by. So we stopped and visited and had a time of prayer together. Pastor Charles sent us off with sweet and wonderful prayer!
- one of our sag stops today showing the van and trailer and some of the bikes. The table with food is not shown. (Don't want you all to be jealous....)]



About 30 miles down the road we came across a church that had some people on the porch and we waved and greeted --- then about 20 feet down the road started thinking "Hey we need to stop and go back..." -Slow thinkers. So we went back and had a nice visit with Pastor Charles and two church members. One of them said she was older than everyone of us, and we have a couple guys in the 'experienced' ages, but sure enough she was older and we all laughed as she gives credit to God and is doing Great! We visited briefly and then prayed together. It was more fruit from the efforts of those who went before us through prayer and 'hands on' delivering the information about us being there. If you look closely at the picture you can see the sign on the door that was part of the information left the weekend before we got there. It was a great reminder that God has his people and we are not alone - even if we don't know who or where they are ... they are there.
Tonight we are at Crossroads Family Worship Center in Callahan, FL. Pastor Herb took us all out for Mexican food after we cleaned up. It's been neat to have such hospitality and to be just welcomed in - a common occurrence these last few days! I think he's running to the store to pickup some food for our breakfast tomorrow - very kind...sure enough. Breakfast stuf has been purchased and delivered, access to the washing machine, keys, ... so kind.
We haven't had our meeting yet, so I'm not sure what details lie ahead for tomorrow. It is supposed to be another 100 mile day.
We're praying for more meetings with people like we had today. It was a sweet day in that regard! It has been great to meet those who are equally commited to God
It's almost 10 - so I'm signing off for today. It was a great day in every regard!!

Hey, Dan. It was good to "hear" your voice at this point. We pray for all your team daily. May the wind be at your back and the Spirit be in your hearts as you finish the trek tomorrow! I'm looking forward to your good stories. Give my regards to Gordon.

I tried to comment on this yesterday, but it did not work. Anyway, it was good to see Dan's contribution to the blog. We continue to pray for all of you. I'm asking the Lord to watch over everyone throughout the rest of the trip.
