New Friends, New Places, Frozen Faces

We joined the Chariots of Light Carolina Tour on Tuesday and stayed with them until Thursday, when we had to return home. It was wonderful seeing some old friends and meeting new members of this Christian bikers club. The big news was announced at dinner on Tuesday night -- Bill and Ginger Horn, who had been running the East Coast Chapter, will become the national directors of Chariots. They will get to stay in North Carolina even though national headquarters have been at Jerry Savelle Ministries International in Texas. This picture shows Ginger and Bill flanking Dr. Savelle at a scenic overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. The temperature at the time was about 30 degrees.

Sylvia's sprained ankle kept us from riding the bike on the tour but we enjoyed the fellowship anyway. Here is Sylvia with Shelley Cochran of Miami. Shelley's husband, Pastor Chris Cochran, is on the right. They are good friends from Voice for Jesus Church in Miami. Chris is the chapter director there.

Fall and early winter are definitely here. We had sub-freezing temperatures on the tour and got home to lower 50s. The foliage is beautiful. It is such a treat to be able to simply look out the window and see all these beautiful colors.
