24 = the number of years I have prayed for the salvation of my dear old amigo Mike - he was my best friend from late high school till my early 30's. 24 is a long time to ask for the same thing from God; at times I grew weary of the prayers. I love Mike, we have ridden Harley's all over the West, we've played in a bunch of bands together, we've shared all our young men's secrets, failures and successes. This year after 24 years of asking God... I was blessed with some cool news - Mike got Life.
Yesterday a few of my very best pals and I went out riding our bikes around our favorite roads in So Cal. Yesterday my Ol' Pal Mike laid his hand on the back of my leather jacket right before we ate a big Mexican lunch in Ojai and asked if he could bless the food and then he thanked God for our many prayers for his salvation. Yesterday I almost wept in front of my bike-pals. Yesterday was a good day.
Keep praying for your friends and loved ones. Prayer works.
