Heading north

We began our trek home today at 7:15 AM, stopping just north of Jacksonville for breakfast. We had a nice waitress named Heather who we prayed for. I forgot that I had left my phone in the saddlebag so I went out to get it. Guess what happened? Another Divine appointment at the Indian. A man walked up to me and started asking questions about the Indian. His name is Carter and he is from the UP of Michigan. He owns 4 Harleys and a Cobra sportscar. We talked about motorcycles for a bit and then I asked if I could share something with him. He said, "sure!". I pulled out a Gospel of John and explained what it was and that he would be dying someday and going to someplace for eternity. He said he expected it to happen sometime soon as he is 77 years old. Wow. We talked a little more about the Lord and he thanked me over and over again for the Gospel and said he would definitely read it and take the contents to heart. Praise the Lord!

Ron and I stopped in GA just before the SC line to get gas. Being the forecast north of us was for rain, we opted to don our rain gear in the safety of the convenience store parking lot. That's a whole lot better than doing it on the side of the highway. God is good, because as soon as we entered the highway from the on ramp the rain started. We were in and out of rain for the next 155 miles until we arrived at the Burnett household in West Columbia where the truck and trailer had been parked. Unfortunately. the family was going through a VERY nasty stomach bug and we thought it best not to spend the night there as planned. So we packed up the bikes and gear and headed north, arriving in Wytheville, VA for the night. Along the way we stopped for dinner and prayed for our waitress named Bri, leaving her a note in the front of the "One Second After You Die" booklet and a great tip.

Thanks for our prayer for safety. God definitely honored and answered them. We should be home tomorrow!
