Club Dues   Leave a comment

Oh how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me. I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes. I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey Your precepts (Ps.119:97-100). David [...]

I am a stranger on earth; do not hide your commands from me. My soul is consumed with longing for your laws at all times (Ps. 119:19-20).   Whenever Todd leaves for a road trip on his Valkri, he takes a map along so he can find his way. The map is his guide to [...]

Brotherhood of Believers

When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his robes. He gave these orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Acbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the secretary, and Asaiah the king’s attendant: “Go and inquire of the Lord for me and for the people and for all [...]

Seek The Experts

Then He opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures (Luke 24:45). When Jesus walked with His disciples, teaching them about the Father, He taught them from the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms. He opened their minds so they could understand, a job that has been delegated to the Holy Spirit [...]

Band of Brothers

I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me (Rom. 15:30). Hatchet rode with some dastardly dudes. On purpose. He planned to win every one of them over to Christ’s side before he died or they [...]

Biker Blessing

Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them (Matt. 19:13a). Jesus prayed for others, even the least significant among His followers. He rebuked His disciples for trying to send the children away because He knew those little ones needed His prayers. Jesus is our [...]

5 Ways to Inspire a Biker

My husband and I take our motorhome out every summer, dust it off, stock it with supplies, attach a trailer containing our motorcycle and hit the road. We ramble close to 25,000 miles every year in the hopes of inspiring bikers toward a saving faith in Jesus Christ. We find them at rallies, at churches, [...]

Trust. It’s An Issue

 I woke up this morning thinking about the trust we have in the machines we use for transportation. When we step onto an airplane, it never occurs to us to question how this huge, multi thousand pound aircraft will float through the air as if it were a feather. We might think about it for [...]

Roar and Rumble

It’s hard to believe that it’s bike week in Sturgis again. That’s the comment I heard when my husband and I arrived at Spearfish Hospital to begin a week of ministry to staff and patients, mostly bikers. We’ve met quite a few already … bikers, that is … and every time we stop to talk, [...]

On The Road Again

For those of you who are reading my blog for the first time, I’d like to fill you in on our summer lifestyle. My husband, Henry or HC or some know him as Neil, and I travel all summer as members of Christian Motorcyclists Association. We are members in Canada and the US. This year our [...]
