I don't ride ... Thanks so much for sharing this. I don't ride much any more due to arthritis so I get my fix for adventure vicariously when you share your escapades. When first learning to ride, in an effort to improve my skills, I tackled a dirt/rocky road that looked similar (though it was in N.C). I did great until I got to a curve that looked much like the one in this photo. It was a sharp right with a steep negative slope that wasn't graded properly. It dropped to the left instead of to the right.. Needless to say, I dropped my bike to the left. I was riding solo in the middle of the day on this deserted rocky road. No one knew where I was, my husband was at work, I had no cell phone and there were no houses anywhere near and the road dead- ended so I doubted anyone else had a reason to be on it . The way my bike fell, there was no way I could budge it. So as you did, I sat on the side of the road, looked at my bike and conversed with God. About 7 minutes later, a cablevision van came crawling down the road. The driver saw me and stopped. When he got out of the van, my jaw dropped...he had to be a body builder. He had muscles on top of muscles. He said he thought he was lost and must have taken a wrong turn. He easily righted my bike, gave me a beatific smile, said "have a blessed day", then got in his van and road away. To this day I believe he was an angel sent in direct answer to my prayer. <br /> So when you shared this story, from my perspective it seems rather spiritual. Looking at it metaphysically; finding the church, receiving sanctuary, and shelter from the storm being provided for you, was the reality and expression of God's love and concern for you. So, maybe seeing JESUS painted in big letters and the man asking if you were looking for a church is something on which to reflect? Is he calling you? <br /> With your permission, I would love to share this story in a teaching or in spiritual direction sometime in effort to help others understand how much God loves us.
