1 Peter 1:  Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see him now yet believe in him, you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, as you attain the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Do not plan on riding your bike through the towns.  Between overnight towns, there are 5-6, always jam-packed with bikers walking.  Pictured, Fonda, just west of Fort Dodge and a few of the 15 thousand riders.

Have a Good Week, J.S

(214-783-0443)

Almost every little village had a water station, usually toward the end of the town.  A very popular stop by almost every biker. Look at that Iowa sky.

We passed a rainy night in Storm Lake, appropriately.  A second storm passed overhead at 7:00 A.M., heading west to east really swiftly.  By 8:45 we could head out following the storm, but not in rain.  The day turned beautiful and we arrived dry in the beautiful over night town of Fort Dodge, the former home of Kent & Diane.

Rosemary's Blessing: 

Loving Father

often we forget your gifts to us,

letting them pass unnoticed

through each day.

show us how to look again,

to see through your eyes

and give freely in response to what we see.

Amen

Rosemary's Blessing:

… May God bless you with enough foolishness
to believe that you can make a difference
in this world, in your neighborhood,
so that you will courageously try
what you don't think you can do, but,
in Jesus Christ you'll have all the strength necessary.

Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

Glance at the sun. See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
Now, think.

with all these things. . . .
All nature is at the disposal of humankind.

We are to work with it.
