Ephesians 1:18 - I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. We had a pretty good night's rest as the campground was quiet and cool. It was 37 degrees when I awoke @ 4 am but, it warms up rapidly as the temperature rose to 65 degrees before we left camp by 6:30 am. We had to q...

Habakkuk 3:19 - The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. Doug Left Sedona and he actually started 2 miles behind where he finished yesterday. But, it was all downhill to his starting point.

I left about an hour later and I w...

John 7:38 - Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them." We started the day in Prescott with me dropping Doug off at 6 AM back at the bike shop.

Also, it is not so hot outside here so we don't need to worry about beating the heat so much. Our time will come when we have another desert to cross. Bu...

Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world." Today we awakened early again because the same as yesterday Doug would be riding right past the hotel. I drove Doug the24 miles back to Aguila and turned him loose as the sun was just beginning to peek over the distant mountains. These were the mountains Doug was riding towards and they were about 30 miles away. I went back to the motel and...

2 Corinthians 12:9 My grace is enough; it's all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness. We spent the night in Blythe and we decided we liked the early start schedule so we again arose at 4 am and prepared for departure. This morning was a little different as we had to backtrack 20 miles to Doug's stopping point from yesterday and his route for today took him right past our hotel. It was nice to have the time for morning devotion and our prep...
