One thing I’m doing to process the experience of Rich’s Ride is flipping through hundreds of photos. You can imagine that each picture evokes some vivid memories.
I’m noticing that occasionally a photo prompts a question. I thought I’d share a few of them.
What do you say about hope–something real that doesn’t sound like simplistic Christianese–to a guy who just spent a weekend sleeping on cold, dangerous streets?
How do you know when you’re telling an important story and when you’re just trying to get attention for yourself?
What do elementary-age kids take away from this kind of story?
Should you feel guilty about enjoying a snack on a bike ride to raise money for starving children?
Could I worship like these kids if I knew I was returning to a home of poverty, neglect, or abuse? Did my message impact them as much as their spirit impacted me?
How do we stay committed to our dreams when others think they’re as silly as a ball diamond in the middle of an Iowa corn field?
How do we reach out to marginalized folks in places like retirement homes and jails? How do we make Hope something real and tangible that truly does change what’s possible?

Hi Rich,
I regret not meeting you during your journey through Davenport, Ia. I’m a para T4 complete level and just reading and knowing of your adventure has giving me and I’m sure many, many others the inspiration to keep going. As you know there are many days we ask the lord why us. But we have learned he has chosen us so we can touch others to inspire. Keep up the good work. God Bless!
