Hi everyone! I’m writing under Rooster’s name, actually I’m Rooster’s Bride so I guess it’s ok since we are one. What I have on my heart is just to encourage everyone out there that when you are down, when you feel life is getting the best of you, when everything you attempt to do just dosn’t seem to be working out—then that’s the perfect time to look to the One who is always there for us. Jesus understands everything we are going through. He loves us despite our “dirty laundry”. He loves us because of it! That’s why he gave his life for us. Yeah, he died on a cross over 2000 years ago with you on his mind. He died for us to give us life everlasting. He died so we don’t have to feel down and struggle so much in this life. Talk to Him, pick up a Bible and read those life giving words. It will change your life!

I sat down tonight planning to write an apologetic post. Somewhere between my backside hitting the chair and my fingers hitting the keyboard, I changed my mind.

I was going to apologize for letting the calendar get out of date, taking too long to post pictures, and for not posting anything on the blog lately. Then reality hit me. That stuff is all secondary. Yeah, I want to serve this ministry well by takin’ care of business, but I also have a higher calling.

I’ve spent countless hours in prayer for and service to my wife over the past few weeks. Tonight was my first night in a month to ride (even a short distance) with other Christian biker brothers and sisters. It was for a good cause, but still one that is somewhere behind my calling as a husband.

So here’s the deal - I‘ll get the website and other stuff up to date, but I’ll also be working hard to adjust my priorities to the point where I never feel guilty about honoring my marriage before other things. My wife is a gift from God, and I’m thankful for both the gift and the Giver.

Join us on March 29th & 30th for a time of unity in fun, fellowship, riding, and hearing from the Lord. Check out the link under “Events” on the we site for detailed information. We’d love to see you there!

We get all keyed up when there’s a major rally on the horizon. We do our best to minister during these rallies or runs. But what do we do during those in between times when we are not in the middle of 100’s if not 1000’s of secular bikers? Friendship evangelism is the answer. That being said, we shouldn’t just minister to bikers that don’t know the Lord. We have brothers and sisters in the Lord that are lonely, going through difficult times,or just overwhelmed by the circumstances and problems of everyday life in ths sinful world. Secular bikers are big on brotherhood, but their style of brotherhood should pale in comparrison to Christian brotherhood. All we do and say to each other should encourage, bless, and strengthen our Christian family. Sharp tongues, smart answers, and sarcasm are not “what Jesus would do”. Our purpose toward each other should be to sharpen each other with the inspired word of God (Proverbs 27:17). The tools we need are wisdom, love, and peace. In this we will show unity in purpose & spirit, as well as portraying an example of how God ment people to live. So seeing as most all Christians agree there is one God-Father, Creator–One Son-Jesus, Savior–One Spirit-Helper,Guide; then what differences can there be between Christian ministries that can’t be overcome by the Greater Power and unity of our faith in the same Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? My personal goal and prayer for Christian biker ministries is to work together as the ultimate example of a brotherhood of unity and purpose. It does not matter what patch is on our backs. We all worship the same God, we are all saved by the precious blood of his only Son, and we all rely on the same Spirit for guidance. Until Jesus returns–Rooster

As we start a new year we often look back at the year that has just past and sigh in relief. It’s great to see that no matter what we were faced with or what God was doing in our lives that He was always there with us along the way. Often we may have not felt him close…but He was there! He promises never to leave us or forsake us, so even in our most desperate moments we can call out to Him and trust that He will bring us through. As we start a new year, we definately need to keep our eyes on Him. What can we do for Him this year? Keep the focus off ourselves, and look around to see what we can do for others. Thank you Lord for getting us through 2007, for teaching us, leading us, and bringing us to the place you want for us to be. We look forward to what you have for us in 2008. Help us keep our eyes only on you!

What’s your I.Q.?

I don’t mean I.Q. like the measure of your intelligence, but I.Q. as in the measure of your inspiration level, your Inspirational Quotient.

Too often we go through the day completely uninspired. We talk about doing good or helping one another, but we don’t get past the talking and into the doing as often as we should. Why? No inspiration. We hear and read it all the time, but we just don’t take it to heart and make it mean something in our personal life.

That’s why I’ve got to make a change. Not a “New Year’s Resolution” type change, but a “New Me Revolution” change. If I believe all the stuff I say about God and love, and how it started a revolutionary change in my life, I’ve got to be inspired do something about it.

How about you? What’s your I.Q.? Wanna start a revolution?

What a crazy winter it’s been so far! North Carolina doesn’t usually have harsh winters, but this year we seem to be trying a little harder than usual.

My saddle bags stay full of everything imaginable - gloves, scarves, rain suit, chaps and hoodies - and I’ve used them all in the last two weeks. 18° one day, 65° the next!

Jacket, Vest or T-Shirt, I’ve ridden all but one day out of the last 30! Hope you’re able to get some rides in wherever you’re at…even just for the morning commute - they’re all worth the trouble.

If you ride, you ride. ‘Nuf said.
