HE WOULD HAVE RIDDEN A
MOTORCYCLE
THIS PAST WEEKEND I HAD THE MOST TRULY AWESOME EXPERINCE, I HAVE EVER HAD ON MY HOG ( A.K.A., ‘BABE’). I ATTENDED THE "WHAT WOULD JESUS DO" FAMILY CAMP OUT, AT CAMP HOPE, CRUSO, NC. THIS EVENT WAS SPONSORED BY: JESUS AND HIS LABORING FEW BIKER MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST. EVERYTHING WAS ABSOLUTELY FREE!!! CAMPING, HOT SHOWERS, FOOD, CHILDREN’S GAMES, PUPPET SHOW LIVE MUSIC, LIVE JESUS!!! THERE WERE NO OFFERINGS TAKEN AND NO SELLING VENDORS. THE ENTIRE WEEKEND WAS TRULY A BLESSING!
MY VERY FIRST RIDE (SOLO), ON THE BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY. I HAVE BEEN A PASSENGER ON A BIKE ON MANY PARTS OF THE PARKWAY BEFORE. BUT THIS WAS TO BE MY FIRST SOLO RIDE ON ‘BABE’. BY THE TIME MY COMPANIONS AND I REACHED THE PARKWAY, NIGHTIME WAS UPON US. THANK GOD FOR THE BIG MOON RISING! OH, DID I FORGET TO MENTION "I’M AS BLIND AS A BAT, AT NIGHT." "WHERE IS THAT TRAILER YOU GUYS PROMISED ME…?
I STARTED FEELING LIKE I HAD BEEN SET-UP…! I WAS RIDING WITH TWO OF THE SON’S OF GOD BIKER MINISTRY, CURT AND MIKE, TWO RASCALLY ANGELS. ONWARD AND FORWARD THEY GUIDED ME THROUGH THE CURVES AND EIGHT TUNNELS ( BUT WHO WAS COUNTING?) OF THE MOONLIT, BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY, FROM ASHEVILLE, NC., TO CRUSO, NC. ALL THE WHILE SAYING THINGS LIKE, "INITIATION RITES…,PIN…" ALL I KNOW IS THAT JESUS HAD CONTROL OF MY BIKE BOTH WAYS, GOING TO CRUSO AND RETURNIG TO HICKORY,NC. THE NEXT DAY, MIKE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A ‘GREAT IDEA’ TO SHOW ME THE RIDE I HAD BEEN ON THE NIGHT BEFORE. EVEN AS I REFLECT ON THE VISION BEFORE MY EYES, I FEEL VERTIGO SET IN. "WHAT……….", YOU GUYS BROUGHT ME THROUGH THIS? AND THEN IT DAWNED ON ME, "I HAVE TO GO BACK THE SAME WAY, ONLY NOW I CAN SEE WHERE I’M GOING!"
"DID I HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND FEET HIGH"? I’M NOT SURE IF THAT’S WHAT HE SAID, I THIND I STARTED TO LOOSE CONSIOUSNESS. WHY NOT I MUST HAVE LOST MY MIND WHEN I AGREED TO DO THIS. BUT WHERE IS THAT BIKE TRAILER YOU GUYS WERE GOING TO BRING ALONG? SOMETHING ABOUT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE BALL TO THE HITCH… LIKELY EXCUSE, THAT’S WHAT I SAY. THOSE RASCALS ARE PROBABLY STILL LAUGHING!
ALL IN ALL, I HAD A GREAT TIME, WHAT A BLESSING, WHAT AN ADVENTURE! AND I DO LOVE ADVENTURES. I USED TO TELL CURT, "JESUS RIDES WITH ME", HE WOULD JOKE BACK, "WELL, YOU BETTER LET HIM RIDE WITH ME, CAUSE YOU’RE GONNA WRECK HIM." NOW I SAY "I RIDE WITH JESUS", BECAUSE I KNOW HE WON’T WRECK ME. MY LIFE WAS A WRECK BEFORE I TURNED TO JESUS, I WILL GO ANYWHERE HE LEADS ME. I TOOK SOME PICTURES AT THE ‘WWJD’ CAMP OUT, LOOK FOR THEM ALONG WITH MORE INF. ABOUT UP-COMING EVENTS. MEANWILE; RIDE WITH JESUS, RIDE TO LIVE, AND LIVE TO RIDE!
YOUR SISTER IN CHRIST,

HE WOULD HAVE RIDDEN A
MOTORCYCLE
JESUS THE BIKER
HE WAS A LOT LIKE YOU AND ME.
THE GOVERNMENT DIDN’T LIKE HIM.
THE CHURCH THOUGHT HE WAS WEIRD.
HIS FRIENDS WERE FEW. WHAT FRIENDS HE
HAD DENIED HIM. HE WAS PERSECUTED BY
HYPOCRITES
. HE HUNG AROUND PEOPLE LIKEYOU AND ME, NOT THE GOODY-TWO-SHOES
PHARISEES
.YES, IF JESUS WERE ON THIS EARTH
IN THE FLESH, HE WOULD BE
NEXT TO YOU ON HIS
MOTORCYCLE TELLING YOU
HE LOVED YOU…
ENOUGH TO DIE
FOR YOU.
