The pastor of the church let Bill make an announcement about our State Rally for CMA

Bill looking at Gary's bike, Sandusky Chaplain with the  CMA back patch on to the left and in front of Bill.  The guy he's talking to in the red is an amazing worshipper.  I told him how I loved how he worshipped.  That's how we love to worship.  He talked to us for a few minutes, then told us he is the pastor of a church we pass on our way to Sandusky.  Paul, the chaplain was trying to schedule a church visit date with him.  I definitely want to go to that one.

Bill...the guy to the right with the long coat, took a picture of the State Rally Postcard front and back. He owns an advertising company, and wants to advertise for free for us.

I went outside and Kit Kat was laying on the top of her cage all comfy.  She rolled over to look at me, but didn't move from her spot.

We left our house at 8:05.  Stopped and got gas in the motorcycle, then met everyone at Meijer for a take off time of 9.  They took rain out of the forecast for our area today, so we were thankful for that.  We had prayed.  We visited for a while, prayed as a group, then took off.  It was nice until we got almost to Ovid, then we saw rain clouds.  We forgot to look at what the weather was going to be like at our destination.  It sprinkled, but just off and on, so we didn't need to stop and put our rain gear on.  I quit raining when we arrived at the blessing of the biker's event.  It was a nice day and got up to 63.  We had lots of opportunities to talk to people about Jesus, worshipped to awesome worship music, and heard a great message.  Then we were blessed with free meal tickets because Bill is a veteran.  They had pulled pork hot out of the cooker, delicious barbecue sauce, buns, baked potatoes,  baked beans, coleslaw, and lots of yummy cookies.  It was all you could eat, but we were full after the first plate.  This church has been doing this for 40 years.  There were about 500 people that came and went during the 4 hours we were there.  Such a great ministry to bikers!  We talked to one young veteran from Iraq and he made a confession of faith.  We also stopped at a gas station on the way home, and another man made a confession of faith.  God is on the move! 

My daffodils and hyacinths are so beautiful and are lasting so long since I covered them.  They look amazing.  I forgot to take a picture. 

When we got home we tried to call Debbie and wish her happy birthday.  We got her answering service, so sang Happy Birthday and left her a message.  She texted me back later.  Her medicine is starting to work now and it's helping her.  Yay!  We called Iain too, and wished him Happy 13th Birthday.  Talked with Vikki, Melissa and Kenzie.  

We relaxed, got a snack and watched a movie Vikki told us about, called The Resurrection of Gavin Stone.  Her boss told her to watch it.  It was a good movie.

We read our Bibles and then it was time for bed!
