    A buddy needs some prayers.

    Although I am an agnostic, I do believe in the power of prayer. Odd dichotomy eh?

    I am an avid cyclist. Most years I average 3,000+ miles although this year the miles are down.
    One of our most well known cyclists, top tier caliber rider, was hit by a car yesterday. When you ride with Perry, he will push you mercilessly but he is also one of the more encouraging cyclists that we have. i.e. he is not a bike snob.
    Anyway, the ***, hope that is not against the rules but it is fitting in this case, that hit him took off and left him on the road. He was airlifted to the local trauma center where he is stable but in ICU. I've not heard about the extent of injuries but some other riders that we ride with regularly work in the ER. HIPA comes into play to some degree but word will get out about the level of injuries.

    I suspect that at 60 years of age, it will be a tough recovery. He can use some prayers.

    That's a tough one. Prayers for God's healing and comfort for his family and friends.
    Thanks for bringing this here baker.

    Prayers lifted for Perry and also for you Baker. Sometimes all we need is the right set of circumstances to totally change how and what we believe.

    I'll be hoping you find your way.
    I truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!

    Thanks all. The latest update is...
    C2 fracture. AKA hangmans fracture.
    Broken femur.
    Internal bleeding.

    I do not believe that he is awake yet so he could be a complete quadriplegic and likely on a ventilator for the rest of his life.

    I do not have very Christian thoughts for the person who did it and left the scene.

    Father please be with bakerjw's friend as he undergoes treatment for the accident he was in. Please give him comfort, healing, refuse from pain. Please guide his medical team and take any fears away so that decisions can be made to take the right path to healing. Father, please make the hit-and-run person man-up and take responsibility for their actions. AMEN

    Father, bless and heal Perry, and give him peace, hope and comfort. Bless all those who love him, and give them your peace.

    Baker JW, anger is a Christian emotion; Jesus was angry at the moneychangers in the temple. As a young man, I was bitter and depressed. I decided that I should be an agnostic, and just say that I could not know anything about God. As time went on, I found that God revealed himself to me in ways I could not have anticipated; sometimes through painful experience.

    When you pray, it is for a reason.

    Lord Jesus please lay your healing hands on Perry and give him your strength through this trial he's facing. Give him, his family and friends your peace and grace, and him your mercy, in the name and by the power of Jesus we pray, Amen.
