The generosity of total strangers continues to overwhelm us.
We’re in Greenville, Mississippi—looking forward to a needed rest day Wednesday. The hotel owner offered us two free nights and a great local bar-b-que place fed us. Amazing.
At the restaurant the server asked what we were doing. Becky told her the story, and she left and returned with a handful of cash.
Through tears she said, “I want to donate in honor of my friend Chris.” She told us how Chris was paralyzed as a child, hit by a stray bullet in a senseless drive-by shooting.
“He needs hope. This story will help him.”
I don’t know what to do with stories like that. We’ve heard so many along the way, and each time I’m humbled and unable to find the right words.
Fortunately, in situations like that I don’t think words matter much.

Here’s some helmet-cam video and commentary from the trip north of Greenville. Come and ride along. Please excuse the abrupt ending–the camera’s memory card was full.
