"Faith lies not in bringing forth some great things by your own power, but in employing the power of God to work all your works in you and for you." Ralph Erskine.
Those of you who are in the know, recognize this photograph, the rider and possibly even the location. I will keep that confined to those in the know. Know this, today this rider is undergoing a procedure that could well determine the days he has left upon this earthly ride.
For all the miles logged faithfully to keep up with friends, for all the miles walking, biking and motorcycling the highways and byways of this wonderful land, it comes down to the difficultly of now making the long step from of the hospital bed.
We who have ridden with, walked with and ran with this friend, we who walk by faith, wish so desperately we could in our own power somehow see him back upon that bike, hiking down that trail, riding up that road to our homes. But now, his steps lie in the hands of the giver of those steps, and our prayer is, grant it Lord, grant it Lord, if it be thy will, to hear that sound of the friend arriving up our drive once again.
Praying...
