2 to go

I took the weekend off as you already probably know. So I'll try to catch you up.

The Baileys (less their son)

Sherwood Baptist

On Saturday the trip to Dawson, GA was uneventful.The family we stayed with lives more toward Albany, kind of out in the country. The Baileys are a wonderful family and they treated us much better than we deserved. We went to church with them on Sunday to the Sherwood Baptist Church. Some of you may immediately know why that's kind of a big deal. For the rest of you, these are the folks and the church that made the movie "Fireproof" as well as some others. In fact,the gentleman who played Curt Cameron's father in the film was the guest pastor. (I don't know if he spells it like that, but hopefully you get the idea.) We are told that a new film is in the works. We'll sure watch for that.

Sunday evening we attended church in Dawson where Monty had made a previous contact. Monty and Dave had most of the service to preach a little and talk about Haiti and our trip across the country. They took a special offering for the Haiti project for anyone who felt they wanted to help. It appeared that the response was really good. Blessings on them! We also were able to partake of Communion with them.

Also, at the Baileys we were joined by Mark and his wife. Mark is joining the bike ride to Jekyll Island. They are also former Mountain Ridge people. Mark's wife has gone visiting elsewhere, but will join us at Jekyll Island, and they will transport Monty and Dave to Savannah where they will catch their plane home. In the meantime, I'm headed back to Phoenix with the bikes, gear, etc. Can't wait.

I.m such a dummy - we kind of lost track of each other in Albany and Monty kept calling me but only could leave voice mails. I finally discovered that my ring tone was off. Don't know how that happened, but I suppose just putting the phone in my pocket or something. We finally got together o.k.

Dave had a little mishap this afternoon right here in our destination of Tifton. Apparently he hit a drain or ? and it tossed him into a pole! He's o.k. and can brag about his battle scars. Other than a few flats and the just mentioned mishap, the day went well.

Tomorrow we go to Waycross, GA. Among other things, we'll get to visit the Okefenokee Swamp just near Waycross. Also, the lady from the Jekyll Island C of C will meet with us. It's kind of hard to realize it's just about over. But at the same time, I'm excited to start home!

Stay tuned. God bless.
