Daytona Bike Week 2009 got off to a chilly start! It has been COLD! I must have brought the cold with me from Ohio because it has been in the 30's and 40's so far. It was 7 degrees in Ohio, so I am counting my blessings! Already I have met many wonderful bikers, vender's and Christian Brothers and Sisters. People have welcomed my handouts and have been more receptive to the gospel this year. There was "Patches" with his huge "Dragon Slayer" Chopper, Veronica whom I met at Columbus Easy Rider show, Kelly and John who talked with me about Jesus for a half an hour, and posed in front of the "Worlds Largest Chopper" and Jan who lost her voice yelling over the motorcycles next to the Skeleton! Pictures to follow when I get back! So many bikers, needing the true peace and joy only Jesus can bring. Some have condemned me for going to these events because of the things that go on there. There is much to decry, but to me it's a wonderful fishing hole for men. Jesus told me to go there, and teach all men and women about his plan for their lives. So I go, and do a little to help. I watch my brothers in CMA do far more than I do to serve the bikers in need. I'm happy to support and publicize their great work on behalf o the biker community. Curse the Darkness or light a candle? Your choice!
