Day Seven Separation

Day Seven Separation

Today's title comes from the fact that we experienced separation from each other for the first time since this saga began. Linda Bell took Darrell Plemons from us to a bike shop while the rest of us rode to lunch. But the story of his temporary separation is a great story of God's answer to prayers.

Darrell had been having difficulty with his bike since yesterday. The problems continued as we pedaled into the fog this morning. The more we pedaled, the worse his bike got and the thicker the fog became. Everyone was becoming frustrated, discouraged and testy. Finally, at our Rest Stop north of Waco, we stopped everything for a time of prayer. We asked God to lift our spirits, fix Darrell's bike and lift the fog. Soon Melissa Hinojosa arrived, the fog lifted and we realized we could send Darrell in one van to a bike shop while Melissa drove SAG for us. After lunch Darrell rejoined us with a bike able to finish the day, the fog was gone and we all felt better. True, he wouldn't correct all the issues with his bike until later in the evening, but the Lord certainly answered our roadside prayer.

I've been asked to post these estimates for tomorow. Please remember these are just rough estimates.

This weekend is TMS weekend. So we are hurting for a room in Denton along I-35. If anyone can help please call Marilyn or Beth tomorrow as early as possible.

Pray for mine and Darrell's left ankles. They are both very swollen and painful.
