It is Thursday, July 23rd. After a four day car ride with my nephew, Joel, doing most of the driving, I arrived at 13 Thoreau Circle Saturday evening around 6 p.m. Had a wonderful time visiting and getting to know Joel - again - this time as an adult. Sybil had gathered a few friends to greet us. Since Saturday, my breathing has come far easier, the pain of broken ribs is something I will have to deal with for the next several weeks, although I like to think that they are getting better. I have concluded that my trek across America was far more than a mc trip. I visited with important people in my life and have found that each one ministered to me in ways I did not expect. The trip was used by God to help this 'retired' pastor to begin the process of determining what God has in store for me in the next chapter of my life.. How can I begin to thank so many of you who have prayed for me, and walked with me through this trip and particularly through the accident? I am truly convinced when all the pieces have been put together, that God chose to spare my life, and brought me through this accident with minimal broken bones and more than a person going 70 miles per hour on a mc should have had. I thank you and our Lord for his watchcare over me. Now it's time to recoup and reflect. That is my intention for the next month or so. My family doctor said that this is the time for me to pull out my favorite books and read. That's what I'm going to do. Thank you again for taking an interest in Peace and Hope Trust. May God continue to bless this ministry in the years ahead.
