FYI GOD’S COUNTRY BOY CAN THRIVE
Most everyone here in the good ole state of Alabama has
heard the song "Country Boy Can Survive" by Hank Jr.
As a young man I used to love that song and I believed every
word of it as I sang along. After surviving for over 30 years
as a country boy, surviving began to lose its savor. I was
tired of just surviving and I was ready to experience a life of
thriving.
If you read the latter part of Genesis and on into Exodus
you will see that God's own people found themselves enslaved to the culture of a foreign country, Egypt. You could
say they were just surviving.
God told Moses to kill a lamb and apply the blood of the
Lamb to their doorpost, and if they would do this he would
bring them out with silver and gold and there would be no
sick among their tribes.
God didn't say run, fight, march on Wall Street or protest,
He just said to apply the blood. Somehow 3 million slaves,
surviving with poor diets, with no money and with no military power, got sick and tired of surviving and found the
faith to do what God said to do and applied the blood to
their doorpost, looking forward to what God said he would
do. If you read the scripture you will find that He not only
delivered them from their bondage but He provided wealth
and health also.
My question to you is: why are you, as a child of God, still
living in bondage today, as a slave to the culture of this
world, when not the blood of a lamb, but the blood of God's
own Son Jesus Christ has already been applied to your doorpost!!!!!!
We are not doing rituals trying to get God to do something we are looking back on what's already occurred.
Country boys/girls can survive, but God's boys/girls can
Thrive. Are you ready to Thrive?

Great Turnout for Round 2
The Lord provided a great rain on Thursday evening prior to the race on Saturday September 13 to
allow some fun without the dust this go round. The
course was typical Stony terrain with hills, rocks,
mud, more rocks, and more hills. Cliff Ousley
bounced back after a DNF at the Chicken House to
finish on top of the podium for the Overall win followed by Steve Nicholas III and Tanner McCoy.
Toby Jolly turned in a solid performance in B Senior going 1-1 followed by Brandon Mclain and Roland Graves finishing 2nd and 3rd. The Womens
class had Julie Ousley, Kathryn Hyde and Kallie
Donovan all finishing the first moto within one minute of each other. Hyde took the win for the day
going 2-1 with Ousley and Donovan claiming 2nd
and 3rd.

but bounced back to finish 8th overall in
the second one. 27th overall for the day.

Three Races - Three Overall Winners
Nicholas III Dominates Both Motos in Troy
The Chase Is On…….
The Troy crew did a fantastic job of designing and laying
out a course that pretty much hit the nail on the head for
an hour long race for each of the two motos. Moto 2 was
the closest as Steve Nicholas III completed 3 laps on the
9.5 mile course in 1:00:20. That is doggone close right
there. Tyler Carter and Cliff Ousley rounded out the podium for overall. 153 contenders started the day in the
adult race with 137 starting the 2nd moto. A few mishaps
with some injuries occurred and we continue to pray for
the riders’ healings. The Super Senior class had 12 to line
up and tackle the day with David Neil, Michael
Schrimsher, and Tim Morgan taking the top three spots
on the podium. Phil Whisenant and John Huggins rounded out the top 5.
Brian McCall and Kyle Sharp duked it out all day in
XC2 swapping positions in the motos with McCall
winning on the tiebreaker. Dustin Stevens completed
the podium in his best ride of the season to this point.
Lee Julian rode to a 3rd place finish in
B250 where lots of fast youngsters have hit
the starting line at each event this season.
There were 14 here and Chandler Craig
avenged his problems at Stony by taking
the top spot on the podium followed by Mason James. James crashed at Craig’s back
fender within hollering distance of
the checkered flag in the second moto. Great competition!!
Grant Henderson gets out of the gate quick
going into turn one and stays out front all
day. Henderson grabbed the top spot on the
podium of the hot Junior class that is loaded
with fast talent. Cale Kress, Tanner Jones, Riley
Kilpatrick, and Payton Attaway rounded out the
top 5.
