1 Kings 19:  After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave.
Romans 9:   They are Israelites; theirs the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; theirs the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.
Matthew 14:  Peter said to him in reply, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.”  He said, “Come.”  Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus.  But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Rosemary's Blessing:  

Lord

Enlighten what’s dark in me,

Strengthen what’s weak in me,

Mend what’s broken in me,

Bind what’s bruised in me,

Heal what’s sick in me,

And lastly,

Revive whatever peace and love

Has died in me.

Amen.

Special Announcement: We are moving

After celebrating week after week for 10 years, PISD is asking us to move over to Sigler on Janwood.  Apparently it is quite expensive to A/C the large cafetorium at Vines.  Sigler will be more economical.  September 6 we begin our new adventure.

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.
