MYRTLE BEACH BIKE WEEK , WHO IS GETTING THE BIGGER BLESSING CMA OR THE BIKERS ? man named Tony came to the
A North Harley shop about noon , looking for something cold to drink , so I gave him a cold cup of water and asked him to be sure to read the message on the cup . He said he would rather have something else , but the water would do . After his first drink , I asked him how the water was , and he stood there for a minute looking at me . I said , β Cold ? Right ?β He answered , β When something is so good that you can β t talk , I guess it is what I needed .β Another CMA member was standing by at the time , by the name of Tom . Tom said he felt something more was going on , just as I did .
Tom then gave Tony a rag tract and said , β You can clean your bike with this rag , and there is a message inside for you to read that can help to clean up your heart as well .β Tony said , β You know , I need that too .β As Tony walked away , he opened the tract and began reading it . We watched as he walked to his bike and read the tract while walking . A few minutes later , he returned to the booth and said , β I guess I β ll get a couple of hotdogs .β He hung around for a few minutes , went inside the Harley shop to buy a couple of shirts , and then returned to the CMA booth again . This time he looked at Tom and said , β I guess I β m ready for that prayer .β Tom said , β Brother , you got it !β He asked if he would also like his bike blessed , and Tony answered , β Yes .β They walked together toward the bike to further talk and pray .
On a side note , a group of bikers nearby saw what was going on , and in reverence , they waited to crank their bikes until the prayer was over . I felt that was a special gift that the Lord allowed us all to witness . As Tom prayed with Tony , he asked , β Do you believe that the Lord Jesus died for your sins ? Tony said , β Yes , I believe !β Tony was sobbing and shaking all over . He accepted Jesus as his Savior right there in that ( continue on page 28 )
