Folsom Loop at Crossroads

When running at Crossroads, the approach is usually find someone I can stay with and try to follow them. This morning for some strange reason, I started with Gold Digger, (yes, I know he’s fast), Sister Act, Gumby and Pockets. Haze was dragging in late and Wirenut was taking off his shirt. Wiki and Seuss were long gone. Gumby had the route and I hung on all the way to the terrible hill on the Folsom lake loop. If you’ve been to Folsom for one of my or Round Up’s Q, you know the hill that got me. As the group pulled away from me, Pockets stayed with me even though he could’ve stayed with the faster group. We had a decent run and a good conversation about trying to be more unoffendable from a podcast I listened to a while back.

In Q Source, Blart made the call for each Q to select a leader and tell about them. I chose Rev. Billy Graham who I have admired many years. One point I made during our lesson was a man named Albert McMakin who was a farm hand at the Graham Dairy farm persuaded young Billy Graham to go hear an evangelist named Mordecai Ham. Young Billy was converted and started his life’s journey of evangelism. The point I took from that is, like Albert McMakin, you never know what a positive influence can do to change a person and how that change can lead to bigger things as well.
