Tuesday - Bike Out Hunger

Yesterday we got off coarse. It added an additional 14 miles to a 65 mile day. Such is life.

Sometimes we work hard for a great cause but we still find ourselves lost.

Today we rode 69 miles to Nacogdoches, TX. The beautiful east Texas pines screamed at me to keep peddling. I rode with a new friend who was in severe pain. I kept telling him to stop and let the sag wagon (help vehicle) pick him up. He refused. Such is life.

Sometimes well intentioned people will tell you to stop.

Endurance to keep going in the midst of difficult situations is hard to find. But ever so often, someone will come up beside you and say, “you got this!” or “Great job!” This helps me to keep pushing. Such is life.

Just when you are ready to give up someone opens a door so you can keep going.

Bike Out Hunger is one way that Texas Baptist’s are opening the door of life through feeding programs, training and support. We proclaim this at every rest stop, hotel and church we see along the way. Such is life.
