Isaac and Bill



Bill had me go up with him, then handed me the mike to let everyone know BayShore was shorthanded and only had one housekeeper.  Liz had asked if we could keep an eye on the bathrooms, and wash counters down or flush toilets if they needed to be.  I passed on the information, but was nervous so forgot to remind them that CMA people always leave things better than when they came.

Bill went to the Men’s Bible study at 7:20 and I went to the Women’s Bible Study.  Jane taught it.  It was on the Words we Speak and was very good and the Scriptures on that topic sure make you think.  After it was over, I walked to the camper, got all of my baked goods I made, and went to help at the bake sale.  Bev and I put things out on the tables as people brought them, then we worked at the table from 9-Noon.  We sold lots.  We were under the pavilion next to the kids playground.  Bill came and gave lots of kids $1.  Then they all came excitedly to the bake sale to buy something.  When they wanted to buy pies for a $1 we had to tell them we couldn’t sell them for that.  The sale was for donations for Run for the Son.  We did let them buy packs of 6 cookies though.  The big items that were left were going to be auctioned off in the evening.  Next year I am going to bring some candy for the kids to buy for a $1.  I think they would really like that.  We got to talk to lots of nice grown ups and kids.  Julie came at noon to let us go to lunch before our ride to Akron.  Bev came to help her.  They covered til 3 when the sale was over.  They put the left over stuff in the tabernacle for tonight’s auction.  Bill got a burger and I had a hot dog for lunch, plus chips and a dessert that BayShore provided.

We visited with Ron and Barb who are our camping neighbors.  She has a table set up with lots of stuff she is selling outside.  I went and did some shopping there and so did Bill!  I bought some things for the girls for Christmas, and a pretty towel for our camper.

We all lined up our bikes for the Bike blessing.  There was such a great turnout.  We had 50 bikes all together.  The bike blessing was so nice, then we all got ready to ride to Akron to go be witness for the Lord.  We walked around and saw Bubba.  He loves CMA and has been asking for prayer for the past couple of years for his wife, Debbie.  We went and saw her afterwards.  She looks great and has been healed of cancer.  She gives the glory to God. We bought a couple of pins for our vest from her.  Mine says Riding for Jesus.

We went to the CMA booth after we had walked around.  I took some pictures of Jay and Jane at the booth.  There was a guy there who was saying he had cancer and they were talking to him and offering to pray.  I told him I would be praying for him too.

It was hot out, so we got Root Beers to drink.  We walked around more, then got waters they were handing out.  We came back to the campground and went to Goodies to shop.  We each got a couple of shirts.  We used our $100 gift certificates we each had from CMA.  We bought rag tracks and other stuff to hand out when we witness with the rest of the money.

We went to the evening service.  Jay, our National Evangelist, gave the message tonight.  Jane gave a short message too.  Isaac. shared his testimony and it was so powerful and so touching.  Such a blessing to hear testimonies that build your faith and show you how good God is.  

We read our Bibles, went over our Bible Studies we are teaching, then played 3-13. I lost again!
