Adventures cycling across New Mexico
ByOnce I departed from the motorcycle caravan en route to the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, DC; I cycled up a steep hill that over looked the city of Alburquerque. I prayed at the top of the hill over all of Albuquerque spread below called my wife and began the decent.
I encountered goat heads, thorns that caused punctured tubes. Fortunately, I got the flat in front of the motel, because I had left my pump miles behind. I secured a room refreshed myself, then caught a local bus with my bike and went to a bike shop. Altogether the cost was approximately $90.00.
I felt led to go to a hospital to minister. I did question The Lord. How was I going to do that? I departed that morning cycling Central avenue, through the length of Albuquerque. The Presbyterian Hospital was on Central avenue. I went into the hospital, being obedient to the voice of The Holy Spirit.I was still trying to reason how and what to do. Words came to me; ask for the Chaplin on duty. She was gracious and kind. We sat in the hospital entrance, talked, prayed for patients, their families and all the Chaplin’s. Chaplin Rebecca, had been with a critical care patient when she received the call. She said to them, “There is a pastor here, so I will go and bring a ‘Word’ back.” I was encouraged by her care and faith for the calling on her life. I shared the You Tube Spirit Ride 2014 video with her. It ministered to her and she stated she would share it with the other chaplin’s. Chaplin Rebecca expressed the blessing the visit had been to her. I was blessed for hearing and obeying the leading of The Holy Spirit.
I met Karen and Michael Hobbs at the East Gate Foursquare Church, they said Pastor Ken would remember them. Blessed service and fellowship.
