REST DAY AT STREAKY BAY - DAY 15

Today, 31st August has been a 'rest day' for the team and most of them have done anything but rest! As you can see from the pictures in this post, cyclists have cleaned and ajusted their machines, food roadies have done their stoctaking and buying, almost everyone has done their washing and the place has generally been a hive of industry. Dinner tonight was at the local hotel/motel and was a very nice meal and well presented.

Tomorrow, we head to Wudinna (pronounced wood-ner) which Edna tells me is 131km from here. Everyone is looking forward to getting on the bike and riding there like a hole in the head! The day off was just what everyone needed to realise that another day off would be just wonderful!

In our devotions tonight, led by Mark, our thoughts were taken along a similar path to last night but with a greater emphasis upon God seeking to put His finger upon those things in our lives that He would like to chip away at to make us more and more like Jesus. He concluded what he had to say to us (and himself too) with a piece of prose he had written. I will seek his permission to present it for you tomorrow night. I will present it as an addition to this post.

People rubbing shoulders
Like jagged ragged boulders
Rubbing edges off each other
Down the corridors of time
For His amazing blessing to you
Is to bring forth Jesus in you
As we pedal on together

Across this country wide
