SCOTT

Several weeks ago on a training ride I stopped to get a drink and snack at a store in Worthington Springs, FL. I picked out what I wanted to drink and then began my snack hunt. As I was looking a voice asked, "how far you riding?" I told him I was going to ride 60 miles that day.

He said to be careful and then he added, " God bless you."

"You are a Christian" I said to him. "Yes" he replied. He told me he was helping to put a roof on the church down the street but he lived in and went to church in Lake City, FL. I told him about CCH and my recent Go the Distance bike ride. He was excited. Then he shared with me some of the ministries that his church was involved in. I said "PTL!" \o/

I share this because this was a great time of spiritual refreshing in the middle of a warm, long bike ride. I was thankful for the cold drink and snack but I was more thankful for my time with Scott. "As iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another." My conversation with Scott took me right back to the conversations I would have day after day during my GTD ride.

As I rode from the store I thanked God for Scott and prayed for his safety as he continued to put the roof on the church. I also thanked God once again for everyone he introduced to me along the way that blessed me and brought me a time of refreshing. I now want to be that time of refreshing for someone else. I hope you desire is to join me in this quest.

For the sake of the call,
