A BIKER DOWNPOUR... PRAYER... AND GODWINKS
“Our church MOTORCYCLE ministry near Boston took a FALL FOLIAGE ride to the COUNTRYSIDE of Nova Scotia.
Occasionally a FARMER would lift up his head to WATCH a cluster of BIKERS ride by, momentarily disturbing the serenity with the ROAR of our Harley’s.
I’d wonder what they’d think as we rode into the distance ... and saw the WHITE CROSSES on the backs of our leather jackets.
It was late afternoon, dark clouds formed, then it started POURING. I was worried about finding a place for the night. But first ... we had to get in OUT OF THE RAIN.
Then I SPOTTED a gas station up ahead with a canopy roof. We all pulled in and gathered around.
The attendant said there was NO nearby MOTEL.
So, as I’ve learned to face every challenge, I said, ‘LET’S PRAY.’
I asked for God’s grace to PROVIDE us with a WARM place for the night.
As we lifted our heads we saw a FORM coming through the DOWNPOUR, from across the road. A man with an UMBRELLA.
‘You need a place to stay?’ he shouted.
I grinned and said, ‘Wait a minute. Is this a WARM PLACE?'
He nodded. ‘YEP. I have a HOUSE nobody’s in,’ pointing ACROSS THE ROAD, ‘Yer welcome to stay there.’
‘Wonderful. What’s the charge?’ I asked.
‘Not a cent. I saw the CROSSES on your BACKS. Com’on let’s get you in for the night.’
I knew then and there that God was watching over us and answering prayers.”

Rick knows the power of prayer as promised in the Ancient Scriptures: ask in PRAYER, BELIEVE that God is who He says He is, then EXPECT to receive His blessings. (Mt 21:22)
One of the most quoted GODWINK PRINCIPLES (#5) is this:
When I PRAY I'm talking to God.
When HE TALKS to ME... it's a Godwink!
