Blessing Bikes

One of the last places in the world you would probably expect to find me is at a gathering of Harley riders.  At least that's what a couple of people told me when they ran into me at Motorcycle Sunday in Phillips Park this morning!  My friend Randy, pastor at Warehouse Church, started this annual event several years ago as an outreach ministry to "bikers," and it just gets bigger every year.  On this chilly morning I was walking around in my very non-leather jacket when Mayor Weisner came up behind me and said, "I don't think we're dressed for the occassion!"  While we were quite out of our comfort zones, we both love Randy's heart for bringing Jesus to everyone, so were excited to be there.  I found myself more than once, though, thanking God that He has equipped us all to minister to different kinds of people.  Let's just say, I don't think I'd be very effective at leading too many of the folks I saw today into a personal relationship with Jesus . . . but Randy has probably led hundreds of them over the years to Christ.  Very cool stuff!

I almost stopped by there! Didn't know it was an event Randy had started! I'll definitely stop next year - with or without a bike and leather!!

Kristen, I agree, very cool stuff! Next year you can borrow my cute little leather jacket with fringe! Thank you so much for getting me connected with Randy. It was awesome to be there for this event. Today, you can read more about Randy and Motorcycle Sunday in the Beacon News (online too). I had the opportunity to help greet and sign in bikers. A few said they will come to my Sunday morning rides! YEAH!!
