FROG (and ALL our Brothers and Sisters Alive In Christ);

Wow !!! This past weekend was miracle after miracle !!!
From my hardly-humble-enough point of view, it started with
the "resurrection" of my broken bike in record time during
last Friday while contemplating Christ dying for me wrenching
and unable to think about the pains my body felt wrenching,
but focusing on answering this "call" to be at Easter-Jam early
Sunday morning - the miracle began.

Re-built fork assembly for the dresser, radio, air system, front
fender, triple-tree trim, passing lamp assembly, brakes, front
wheel, exhaust headers (and mufflers?) all became attached to
the frame by 2am.

Denise got up Saturday morning, made coffee and breakfast
for her "exhausted" (ha, ha) hubby and proceeded to wrench with
me. Truth be told, if it wasn't for her, I would not have gotten my
headlight assembly, fairing and handlebar controls re-attached
to the bike before 10am. We then proceeded to get the re-built
EFI Fuel Tank (new internal fuel pump, sender, filter with all new
internal fuel pressurized lines) attached. Then we dragged the
computer from my office out to the carport where I programmed
the new DynoJet PCIII USB module (the PCII RS-232 Unit had
passed-on to the dead at the Yaqui Warriors Poker Run.

We added Fuel and....

The Holy Spirit's Fire !!!
I'm really not the smartest of mechanics, so it HAD to be God's
Will that she even fired-up !!! We were ready to serve.

I was at the Chevron Station (Oracle & River) at 5:15am.
More Coffee was needed...FROG was right on-time at 5:25am.

We had a coffee, shared ideas on the "dialog, Q&A" format that
we were thinking of doing vs. a traditional Easter Sunday Service.

We headed-out at about 5:45am to Winkleman, everything was
running well and then FROG's Clutch Cable (at the tranny-side)
let go just before Oracle. Drats and Double-Drats....or so we
thought...FROG called his lovely Bride and DJ was out'a the house
and on her way with the trailer to pick-up our Bro' in record time.

FROG told me I should get going to Winkleman, but I didn't want to
leave him there. He reminded me that he and DJ could handle the
bike to trailer transfer very easily and that it was more important for
me to be at Easter-Jam as we had planned, so I left him there and
headed-out.

I later heard that FROG met a "homeless" guy who'd been "left behind"
by the Carnival folks to fend for himself for the weekend without transport.

Well, FROG and DJ just took him back into town for some breakfast and
the GOOD News of the Resurrection Day. Another miracle of God's perfect
timing and placement !!!

Shortly after I had arrived in Winkleman, Tim of the Loners had me all set
with announcements of the service and a PA System with wireless micro
phone support. I was nervous to be the only one of us there to do this dialog,
Q&A format...then the third miracle...

I saw a Turquoise and Cream Fat-Boy that looked familiar...Yes, Too-Sawn
Ron had arrived and was getting a coffee. I was getting more excited
about what God was doing this morning before 8am !!!

Our Spirits soared as we talked about how we both were nervous about just
how this was going to work, then refreshed by each other's presence.

Last Supper/Passover to Good Friday to the Disciples' Depression Saturday
to the Joyous Resurrection on Sunday - we shared the story with about two
dozen folks who showed-up at the 9am "Services". Ron and I both shared how
God's Love or "Passion" for a relationship with US had traveled across 1000's
of miles and 1000's of years to save us from our self-centered-selves and ...
that he loves us all even while we continue to sin. We only need to ask him to
come into us as we are - HE Alone CAN make the changes that are needed.

There were even more folks listening from a distance who heard this Good
News. We prayed before and after we met together. We gave the opportunity
for anyone to come to God's Alter and stayed another half-hour or so talking with,
praying with and for those who came forward. Another miracle !!!

Ron and I rode on towards home together and stopped in Mammoth at "God's
Filling Station", a new church (in a renovated Gas Station) on the south-side of
town. Street Signs with scriptures, a car hood for an overhead song sheet
projector and a joyous crowd of saved Brothers and Sisters welcomed us in.
They invited us for a home-style lunch, but we did need to get back to Family
in Tucson...so we promised to tell all our Bros and Sisters to stop by at 11am
on Sundays or on Wednesday Eves. (I think they said about 7pm) to visit
whenever we pass through Mammoth again. Please Do !!!

Turtle had visited these folks before he left for Kuwait and we MUST return to
visit them again....the fourth miracle !!! (and it wasn't even Noon yet).

Ron and I paid a quick visit with our Bro' Randy on the return home. He was just
getting better from being sick with a cold/flu and he was joyous at seeing the two
of us just as he was returning from the TCC Resurrection Sunday Service.

Friendship, Our Bros' and Sisters are all miracles - I saw it on Sunday, I pray that
God our Father who raised Jesus from the dead - the Firstborn from the Dead,
(Col 1:18) continues to bless your "vision" of the many miracles he does around
us daily - Don't forget, we are all miracles of his passionate love and grace.

p.s. while at Randy's, I got a call to speak at a Vets recovery house cause their
speaker cancelled - all I did was say "yes" and then I saw more miracles that
evening as I shared my experience, strength and hope with other hurting people.

This was a truly miracle-filled Easter Sunday, and I only saw a part of the picture
- I can only imagine what it will be like....
