gas scares and potato chips

sept 20 was the Springfield TN town celebration/outreach put together by On The Go ministries... not a big fan of stress and early mornings... has any one ever tried to manage a group of young bmx riders? a BMX rider is not a huge fan of the early morning or time management... we are more "artistic" then that... ha ha... normaly it takes 3/4 of a day to loosen up, wake up, and be mentally and physically in tuned to being motivated to ride... most of it is due to resting and recovering from the night of previous riding... did i mention we dont like early mornings.... 6:30 am gas lines and fuel shortages we are on our way to set up... oh and most of the time we have some sort of lingering injury and those are more sensitive in the early morning... faith is our motivation... and most of the time i am dependent on that... soo much prayer involved in what i do! coordinating the riders is always a challenge and some how physically logistically and spiritually it works out... long time riding friend from up north Frank Stewart is on his way from Memphis TN along with D town resident Alex Magallan the Nashville Rueben... and white house locals Brandon and tyler... this is Franks first Outcast show! we met in MN years ago at a local park... he has been riding longer than i have been alive and it shows... its kinda funny how we lived a few hours apart, him in Iowa and me in WI and some how we both migrated south to Tennessee still only living a few hours apart... figure that one out? pretty cool i think.. oh and did i mention we have a toter home shower full of potato chips.. a full tank of diesel.. not physical pain, lack of sleep, or anything stopped us from doing this show... and we did it for Jesus name and Glory only... it wasnt for our benefit... but even after the stress and everything trying to pull us down we still get to share in his Joy and glory... even when im feeling on empty spiritually suffering physically and emotionally... God reminds me that it's not for me... but for Him
