Day 3 - Tumble, Turtle and Tree

Last night and this morning we were treated to the wonderful hospitality of the folks at Our Redeemer in Scotia. After getting stuffed full at breakfast we headed out on the trail. Maybe a mile later Jeff Kane fell right in front of me. Lock the breaks, turn toward the ditch. God was watching over us. Instead of Pastor Jeff K being my speed bump it was able to stop about 2 inches from his head! The team worked together to make sure Jeff K was OK and ready to continue the ride. Fast forward about 30 miles; riding along the trail, there is a beautiful turtle right in the path. Easy to hit if you aren't paying close attention. Amber and I stopped and rescued and showed off the turtle who rewarded my kindness by peeing on me! A few miles later a tree blocked the path. We made sure each of us got over with bikes intact. Meanwhile all along the way Vicar Becca has been ready to meet us with fresh water, snacks and supplies. See the theme, through it all we are in this together. We in this Synod at in this together for now and the future. That's why we ride, that's why there is a Capital Campaign. We are in this together for now and for those who will come after us.
