Wednesday August 27, 2008: "Had a Little Church This A.M."


























Wed , Aug.27th
God always has a master plan this morning he wanted to have a little one man revival and man was it great. I started this morning off in the rain at the local gas station a lady said ,man I wish it was going to be sunny for you today the ride to Libby Montana is so so beautiful!!! well 10 minutes later I am off the bike taking my 1st of 75 pics today it was so beautiful I started to cry. Our God made this millions of years ago knowing at the exact time that A guy named Drexel Swanson would be standing right here looking at this beautiful scenery On weds Aug 27th 2008 over a million years later!!!! Our God is an awesome God!!!!
Some people are loving every second of every day in this beautiful world others are just watching it go by. I choose to live every second and make a small difference along the way. If everyone just makes a little change for the good in this world what a great place and time we live in Remember it is Millions of years old we are just a blink of an eye in it.
I have lost two friends in the last year one a child hood friend and the other a friend that I made in the last few years They chose to check out way to early and only if they could have seen the scenery I have seen in the last week it would have changed there minds!! Lots of people are hurting right now reach out and hug the people around you everyone needs hugs and to feel they are needed!!! Aright I Will come down off the pulpit now.
I had an unbelievable ride today some in the rain some in heavier rain. I went 70 miles from Clark Fork, Idaho to Libby , Montana I am sharing a few of the pics I took over 75 pics today I could have ridden over 100 miles but the picture opportunities were so great.. I took a 2 mile hike to see one of the most beautiful sites of my life The water was rushing so fast you couldn’t hear anyone around you I set and had a pro bar and some water for 30 minutes I set there and took in the view and sounds the greatest whitewater falls I have ever seen!!! Went across a swinging bridge .
As for the other pics meet a guy named Tim pitcher going east to west he has been on the road for 3 months and is getting close to the end Real Nice guy!!!!Hey daddy are we there yet hey honey keep ridding we will be there soon and pick you up a few more tires LOL couldn’t resist the photo opp..

Hey Drexel, I just have to tell you that I am proud just to know you and very envious of all of the beautiful things you are getting to see out there. Keep up the hard work. Just remember fun Drexel on the gravel bar and say a few WooHoo's for me.
