We left with two bikes and four cages. Jason smiling and ready for action. When we arrived, we met five more of the H2HBC folks and there was a line of people 20 to 30 long and the drive through went out to the 31st street one direction and the side street the other direction. The neat thing about this was that everyone seemed to be happy being in a line! I actually went around asking folks about standing in line and everyone I asked was excited that they had to wait! It was all about speaking up for our freedom of speech. Amen? Yes, Christians have that right too, Amen? There is a drive thru lane to the right of this crowd so the line stops and starts again on the other side of that lane! On the 4th of August, the Lord brought together 10 souls for a breakfast ride at the Cracker Barrell in Harker Heights. It was a blessing to have the fellowship with like minded Christian brothers and sisters. Not only that but the divine appointment with a brother at the Exxon who needed a word of encouragement and a hug with a prayer! His wife was in the hospital and he had tons of weight on him! Jason and I prayed with him and the Holy Spirit gave him peace. Thank you Jesus. We also had the pleasure to be in fellowship with a couple that we have not rode with since about 2005! Yes, God is good. Below is a picture of most of us before we left the Cracker Barrel and headed up to Oglesby for a cancer benefit. Afterwards we all went over to the Black Meg's and it looked like a H2HBC family reunion! On the 7th of August, we had our monthly Chariots meeting and discussed upcoming events. During the meeting we learned that Kathy was at the ER with congestive heart failure. Troy closed us in prayer and we all lifted her up for God's healing. I dropped in at the emergency room to see her and pray with her. She was in good spirits but scared. On the 8th of August, I drove to Temple right after work and visited with Joe Pucciariello. Joe was doing pretty good but a little depressed about being moved so far away from us. They plan on moving him Burleson. The Lord brought in not quite a dozen souls for HIS Bible study and we all had a good time browsing through the book of Genesis. Everyone was excited about the new study on its way, God's Armor Bearer. I talked to Kathy on the phone and she is doing much better! She was breathing much better and in really good spirits. On the 9th of August, Tom went in the hospital for a good look at his heart and they did two stints while in there. He was released and on his way home about the same time I arrived home. God is so good! Praise him for allowing the doctors to be able to do things so complicated in a "outpatient" mode! Kathy was moved to Scott and White as they have found some blockage and want to get a better look at the valve. We claim God's hand on her! On the 5th of August, God brought nearly 60 souls for church at H2HBC. The anointing was so thick that we had a re-dedication during the praise and worship time! Yes, before the preaching started God brought one back to HIS fold. Give him all the Glory! God did anoint the message "Satan's plan to break down the American People" and many left changed for HIS glory! Then we headed to Dave's Sports Bar and Grill and we had nearly 50 souls for another anointed message! God brought one forward during the praise and worship again and the message "Give God the Eraser" touched many! On the 10th of August, Kathy went in for her procedure and the doctors didn't find any problems. I went straight to Scott and White after work to check on Kathy. I gave her and Mike a ride home and arrived to my house just at 7PM. I was just in time to join more church family (mostly Chariots) at the City Auditorium for a free gospel music night! We all had fun and enjoyed the fellowship! God is so good. On the 11th of August, Tammy, Ethan and I drove to Temple to the children's hospital. We visited with Susan and MJ for about an hour and then headed over to Long John Silver’s for lunch. We met two more Chariots (Dustin and Deana) there for lunch as well. We had some good foor and great fellowship! On the 12th of August, the Lord anointed the music and prepared the hearts of many for HIS message at H2HBC. After the message we had quite a few that went to J and M BBQ for lunch. They were ecstatic that we came in with so many folks! The lady said, "I really appreciate ya'll coming in with so many people! I am working my b%$# off but I really appreciate it." We all laughed at her but you could see she was sincere about all the business coming in. Once again the food and fellowship was awesome! After the good meal I headed out to Van Horn Acres to get the sofa and end table for Barbara and Katie's place. Dustin, Deana, Jennifer, Donna, Marty and Dustin followed me out there to see the place and pray over it as well as help move the furniture. What a blessing! On the 13th of August, We received a phone call from Eddy and Kandi Walkos, fellow Chariots from our sister area in Cove. They needed some road side assistance. It was a blessing to see them even for a short while. After pouring in some petro they were able to head on down the road. It is a blessing to be a blessing, amen? On the 15th of August, Shirley Pucciariello sent us a key to their house with overnight delivery so we could get Joe's wheel chair for him. The Lord brought in 14 souls for HIS Bible Study and we had a good time in the book of Matthew. We are all excited about the God's Armor Bearer study that has been ordered! After the Bible Study we had 8 folks (all Chariots) that dropped in at Bush's for some late supper. Once again we had some good food and some great fellowship. On the 16th of August, We received the key to the Pucciariello's home. The plan is for about four Chariots and Ethan to go see Joe on the 18th. At about 10 minutes till 5PM we had eight (8) souls ready to follow Richard to his wedding out in Mosheim! We had a nice ride (three bikes and two cages) out to Judy's brother's house. The wedding was very nice and it was such a blessing to be part of it! th On the 17 of August, Tammy, Ethan and I went over to the Pucciariello's home and loaded up the electric wheel chair into the trailer. I made it into some fun for Ethan! The trailer just seemed like a huge overkill and I called Joe. Come to find out the wheel chair only weighs 350 pounds! So we went over to Adam's house and unloaded it from the trailer and picked it up and loaded it into the truck! Dustin and Deana were going with us so we had help getting it out of the truck once we got to the Huguely rehabilitation place. Well, then plans changed (Give God the Eraser right?) and it was just us going but we still managed thanks to the ramps I had for the ultra light plane I use to have. God is good. But we were not sure Tammy and and I could unload the wheel chair by our self so we did a “dry run”. Yep, we unloaded it with no problems. There was just one problem! We couldn’t use the ramps to load the wheel chair back up! So we had to call Adam and have him help us pick it back up and put it in the truck! On the 18th of August, At about 8:30AM we headed to Burleson with the wheel chair. It was a nice drive and we only hit a little bit of rain. Joe was watching out the window for us and rolled up to where we were parked just as we rolled his electric chair off the last rung of the ramps. We got to visit with Joe for about an hour. He made some very good coffee for me and we talked about bikes and trikes and of course the Lord! One thing for sure is that Joe doesn't want to stay in Burleson very long and is talking about his return to Gatesville! We are all looking forward to his return as well, but not as much as he is. After a prayer with Joe and Good-bye hugs we loaded up and headed home just as the rain let loose! It came pouring down and we stopped by Joe's window and waved good-bye again while he watched for us. We took I-35 to Waco and the traffic was crazy! But, the Lord protected us and got us home safe. On the 19th of August, the Lord brought in close to 60 souls for HIS service again this morning. He prepared the hearts with the music and anointed the message again as well! The Lord touched many during the message, "The First Step is Taking the First Step". After the service we loaded up and rode to Leona Park for some baptisms! We had an awesome turnout (Nearly 30 souls) from the church family to watch the three baptisms! Justin Jackson After we changed into some dry clothes we had a few say good-bye and head home but we still had 14 souls head on to Temple Dairy Queen for a bite to eat. Talk about fellowship! You would think that we would get tired of each other at some point! Guess you don’t when you are family. On the 22nd of August, the Lord brought in nearly 20 souls for HIS Bible Study! Everyone left feeling comfortable and confident that they indeed had the "right Bible". Everyone is getting anxious for the new Bible Study! We hope the books are in this next week! On the 25th of August, we headed to Dave's Sports Bar and Grill for the Eris Richardson Benefit. I got to visit with quite a few folks as soon as we arrived. I had the blessing of being able to meet Eric Richardson for the first time and lay hands on and pray with and for him. Sara Bundrant (above) Rebekah Haferkamp (below) More than once, I found myself visiting with like minded brothers and being able to pray with them as well! After church service we also had a car blessing and a Bike Blessing. Isn't it amazing how everything just seems to feel so much better after praying with another blood bought Saint of God? Wow! God is so Good! The benefit was a huge success and the Richardson family was truly touched by a bunch of bikers. The bike show and games was a hit and the trophies a plus as well! On the 29th of August, the Lord brought in over 20 souls for the God's Armor Bearer Bible study! We had a great first session! Dustin and Deana did a wonderful job going over the book and study guide! I think everyone is looking forward to next week! On the 26th of August, God saturated the sanctuary with the Holy Spirit! Nearly 50 souls came expecting a change and indeed left changed! God is so awesome! The music was anointed and we had over 10 minutes of prayer with many special prayer requests from wounded warriors of Christ and we even had one rededication for God's Glory! Yes! Before I started preaching, is God good or what?!!! The message was "Three Dollars Worth." Give him all the Glory! On the 30th of August, two armor bearers (Dennis and Rebekah) met at H2HBC and did some servants work. On the 31st of August, Tammy took my mother to Scott and White for Same day surgery. All went well with the Surgery. Donna also had surgery and went home. We took the bike and enjoyed the just over an hour ride to Settle's Point for a wedding rehearsal. On the way back we met a couple armor bearers, Dustin and Deana at the Belton Sonic and had great fellowship while we broke bread! The assistant manager came out and said he thought he recognized us from last year and wanted us to know that he is starting up a Thursday bike night again! Sounds like fun!
