GREAT Ride Eve

I'm calling today GREAT Ride Eve, since we load the trailer and leave for Brownsville tomorrow. As I thought of the "eve" name, I seemed to just get more and more excited about the ride. As I rode through the cool morning enroute to work this morning (with the top down on my Miata), I really began to realize I was feeling like a kid on Christmas Eve morning. I'm not sure what lies ahead, tomorrow, but I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it.

We had a great meeting last night, at the church building. The whole team was together for the first time. Only Darrell Crow was missing, but we had given him an excused absence. Beth had a sample packet of our Trail Mix recipe - 450 calories for 1/2 cup. Winston Bell, the Executive Director of Bread For a Hungry World was with us to pray over us. I distributed the beautiful T-shirts to everyone. We talked about SAG vehicle procedures and reviewed overnight arrangements that were complete.

Today, we were in communication with each other a good bit by phone calls and emails. Everyone seems to be getting everything together. I haven't gotten any panic-stricken phone calls. I called Hector and he had been able to get the equipment trailer without any problems. It looks like all systems are "go!"

Keep us in your prayers.
