What a great day for a bike ride!


It sort of came together at the last minute, the details anyway. Karen and I went over our calendars and decided that today would be one of those day I could plan a bike trip with Jeff Bitner and some of the GSM Jr. High guys. It did not work for Jeff to help but I decided that I could plan this one myself. You never know who is going to be able to go but it would even be fun if only Keith and just went on a ride. It looked there would be six of us; Ryan, Luke, Jonathon, Daniel, Keith and I, then at the last minute Jeff decided he could go. The Heritage Bike Trail in York County is were we went. What a nice trail! We started with prayer and it was neat to see God with us. He reminded me to bring a tow rope. I had to be towed on one trip because I broke my chain so that is something I like to take on trips. We needed it. Three of us came back to the car and trailer while 4 others went on down the trail. We needed to make the connection at the end. We 3 in the car got to the town of Glen Rock and did not see the other 4 so I took off on my bike back up the trail. I was racing down the trail and had gone about 2 miles when I saw a fisherman. I was ready to pass him and I felt prompted to stop and ask if he had seen 4 bikers. I passed him and then decided to go back. I turned around and went back and asked him if he had seen 4 bikers. He said no and that he had been there about an hour. I thought maybe they had not come through. as I was looking up I saw someone way down the trail. I went toward the biker and realized it was Jeff trying to catch and tell me they had gone on. All that to say we have a great God that takes care of every detail and makes our connections at the right time.
Praise God for a great safe trip and a chance to spend some time with youth!!
