A tribute to the riders 

“Hogs for Haiti” Bikers

by Bob DeVoe, Lifeline Founder

 

The morning was chilly and dank and damp,

as Bikers stirred in their roadside camp.

The first to rise and snarl his howdy,

was none other than “JD Rowdy.”

 

The smell of coffee soon filled the air, while

dark clouds hovered, but don’t despair;

for “Curlee Bob” was about to rise

and cook the “mess”…  ’twas no surprise.

 

His kitchen skills are widely known

 in Haiti, where he fills the throne;

“Hamburger King”, his title there,

another tale someday to share.

 

“Gruesome Greg” then showed his face

And bowed and prayed a prayer of grace;

heads down, eyes closed, his words touched all…

 

The tattered crew ate and drank and shared,

and by God’s hand, they were prepared.

The mission was upon them now.

Their Hogs first chugged, then rumbled low;

that sweet sound means it’s time to go.

 

What happened next was strange for sure,

as clouds diminished in a blur.

Out came the beautiful rising sun

and a new day’s ride was soon begun.

 

Trailing them and not far back

was “Talker Tim,” yes, right on track.

His caring heart and watching eyes

to share with all and harmonize.

 

But why are these guys doing this?

It seems like something is amiss.

Do they not know the world’s perception?

Why are they a grand exception?

 

To sum it up in one short phrase,

“because of kids and Jesus”

who they serve and praise.

Devotion 
Beautiful Displays of God

 

Yes, into every life a little rain must fall.  Spring only comes after winter.  Tulips will bloom only if they have endured a freeze.  Beauty does come from ashes.  But at what cost?

 

The Grand Canyon has been carved by water over years beyond counting into one of the most beautiful displays of nature in the world.  My face too is being etched.  My soul is being carved. Forces are at work sculpting me – my life, my views, and my beliefs – honing and shaping and changing me.  The process is sometimes painful and sometimes unnoticed, but the effect?  Oh, for the grace to see the effect as beautiful.  To be able to see our lives, our bodies, our faces, our souls sculpted by time, our choices, and by the hand of our relentless, fierce, and loving God as beautiful displays.

 

Rain serves a purpose. Even floodwaters.  Even suffering.
