Day 63 - July 20 - Mason to Wilmington, OH

Day 63 - July 20 - Mason to Wilmington, OH (30 mi)

It was an outstanding day!  It started with a wonderful breakfast prepared by Chad, as every morning should begin with a good breakfast!  Then, we biked down into the Little Miami River valley, reaching a top speed of 38 MPH.  The folks from Georgetown Church of Christ we ready and waiting to join us on a 10 mile ride along the scenic Little Miami.  What fun!

We biked along slowly talking much -- great fellowship and beautiful surroundings!  Truly, we didn't want it to end!  We reached a camping area, where the Georgetown church had rented a pavilion.  We ate lunch -- hamburgers, hot dogs, con on the cob and watermelon.  I spoke about the decisions we make today to follow Christ will have a ripple effect all the way to the third and fourth generations of those who love the Lord, not to mention the UPG's and eternity.  However, I was speaking of passing the faith to our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

We tore ourselves away from the Georgetown brethren, and began the ascent out of the valley -- a category one climb, made much easier with no saddlebags.  We rode 15 more miles to Wilmington, my hometown.  We beat the storm by 5 minutes! l We stayed with long-time friends, Jon and Amy Luttrell; farmers here in South Central Ohio.  We ate dinner tonight with childhood friend, Ray Vance and wife Patti.  Ray is the minister at South Side church in Washington Court House, where we will be on Monday evening, Lord willing.

Also, today mark a milestone, we are one year away today from releasing the Come Christian Church to move forward without missionary presence.  July 20, 2014, Lord willing, Brenda and I will move on to a new Kingdom service.  What that will be, we have no idea!  Pray with us!

Thank you for praying!
Dave, Luey and Andy
