At our house (a.k.a. Freedom Tour Central), today is crazy day.
FREEDOM TOUR CLASSIC 2026 happens tomorrow.
An army of volunteers asks individual questions. Last-minute registrations – do we have the right jersey or T-shirt? Our garage is the staging area for signs, tents, flags, tables – they all go different places with different people, and somehow Becky keeps it all organized.
Crazy day.
For me, sort of frustrating day, because I can’t help with most of that stuff. I just hang out like some sort of mascot. But it’s okay. My part of the work is mostly done, and I need to rest in that knowledge.
Tomorrow, I’ll have the privilege of welcoming more than 250 cyclists, walkers, and volunteers who chose to surround our kids with love and support. I’ll do my best to remind them of Jesus’ presence and the miracle of children destined for a life of sexual slavery now living in freedom.
I know we’ve talked a lot about it, but I invite you to sit for a moment with that miracle. Think about a future in which these kids were literally commodities to be sold, used, and tossed aside.
Now, they’re free!
Free to laugh and run and play and go to school and – most importantly – free to know they’re God’s kids.
I’ll deal with crazy and frustrating in exchange for that any day.
