Dick and Rick Hoyt

I like to share moving Spiritual moments with all of you. This past Sunday was one of those times I wish I could have shared with my two boys, all my relatives, and all my friends like you. Tim Curtis was speaking to us Sunday, and in his lesson he told the story many of you are already aware of concerning Dick and Rick Hoyt. If you are not aware of their moving story go to:

For any of you who don't know, Rick is an invalid. His dad, Dick, is a tri-athlete who enters triathlons with Rick as his partner. When swimming, Dick pulls Rick in a boat by use of a harness. When running, he pushes Rick in a little chair. When riding a bike, Rick is beside him in a side-car. It is an amazing thing to behold.

Tim showed a video of this on Sunday, with the song "Redeemer" sung by the Zoe group in the background. I had the blessing of hearing Sheryl and the other Zoe singers perform this special song last spring at Pepperdine. There was not a dry eye in the place last spring, and this past Sunday the same result happened. He was not scheduled to talk, but after the video Ross Cochran got up and witnessed as to how most of his life he had pictured himself as the one pushing instead of riding. Becoming aware of God's grace in his life, he realized that he had been riding the whole time. So have I. So have you.

Thank's Tim. Thank's Ross. Thank you Dick and Rick for your example and encouragement. Thanks most of all to our wonderful God, for his saving Grace.
