With God all things are possible! I will continue to pray hard for all of you! When things get tough- look up brother- know that He is always with you. He brought you to it and will bring you through it!

Love to all-

So close, Chief, so close! Keep your thoughts on the end game; not just in finishing the ride, but in finishing well for the kids and the James Fund!

Ex 15:2 “The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will prise Him…..”

Don’t worry about the hills here in the end. As you have said, God won’t flatten them, but He will help you over them! Perhaps you can spend some time on the uphill legs of this last week working on new lyrics to that awesome acapella version you do of “It Is Well With My Soul”. Call it, “It Is Well With…… These Hills”?!

Pedal On Mark!!!

You are a true inspiration. What you are doing is such a selfless act. If I could suffer for a day to give you a easy ride through the mountains, I would. What you are doing makes God smile. I know that when you arrive at the gates of Heaven, Jesus is going to welcome you with open arms, stating” Welcome home, my good and faithful servant.” You are in my Prayers…. I cannot wait to see you on Tuesday night in Pinellas Park. My kids are counting down.

Take care my brother.

It has been a long time since I have been on-line, but I got a wonderful e-mail about all of your progress and all you have accomplished in the past few months.

You know that my children and I LOVE your music and I personally have always been so very proud of you and how you use your life to show others how truly beautiful it can be to find and then wholeheartedly serve Jesus Christ.

Our job here on earth is to get to a place where we look in the mirror and see more of HIM and less of us. When we live that way it shows the world the beauty and truth of God’s love and plan. Many people in the “industry” sing and have wonderful concerts that glorify God. It is truly a blessing to know a Christian artist who, after he leaves the stage, his real ministry begins.

Your huge endeavor across the United States is really a big deal, not only to the many, many people who the funds raised will be helping but to the many who feel like hope is kind of an illusion….and then there comes Mark, peddling, humbly peddling his bike, thousands of miles in a quest to help less fortunate and those who have little hope.

Well, I just wanted to say I know you to be a man of great character and a true Christian who lives his faith in a very public yet humble way. I will be praying for you as you cross the mountains and have to make up so many miles in such a short time. I will have my children pray for you too. You can do this…you will be tired…but God will give the power you need when you need it…

I opened my Bible to this passage…it is for you Mark:

14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

God will be with you when you are weak and when you feel overly tired. He will sustain you so that all that you do may bring Glory to His name.

Thank you for helping widows and orphans and for being a true Christian that little ones can look up to for a Godly example.

Praying for you Mark….

oh yes….and….

“GO MARK GO!!!!!!!!”
