Broke down in Tucson

mschulz · 06-18-2011, 11:44 AM

I'd like everyone to remember and pray for Ara, he's broke down in Tucson. I've injoyed his ride reports for a longtime and could tell he seemed like a man on more than just a nice long road trip we all dream about doing one day, but reading a little more about him I found out about how he lost his son to cancer a few years ago. My wife and I have been blessed with two sons of our own and it's hard to imagine losing one or even both. God used the love that I had for them to bring me to a place where I would truly commit my life to him and I was born again. God gave me no promises that I would not see a day without them in it but he did give me this, and that is no matter what happens in my life, what I gain or even what I lose that He would always be with me and I would be able to say" It is well with my soul". I laid my sons on the altar many years ago and they are His, but He's given them back to me to raise for a time and I'm thankful. I'm also so thankful that He laid His son on the altar for us. Thank you and God bless.

Not to worry, it is a very common mistake. I appreciate what you're trying to do for Ara and Spirit.

The TWT link in post #2 has a lllllong story - go to the end to see his sidecar rig being towed (post #965 on page 49). The repairs will be expensive and he can't cover it. There is a way to donate on his blog.

He's currently staying with someone in Green Valley but I don't know for how long.

My economy precludes any participating in his recovery. I can only offer moral support at this time. That and a bump to the top of the page.

I can really relate to his discomfort and being on the receiving end of other people's charity. Over the years, I have used TWT to raise money for various people in need of help. I never expected to be one of them though. After Beth and I had an accident a few years back, the flood of support from TWT members was literally overwhelming. I had the same feelings that Ara describes, but folks reminded me that there are times to give and times to receive. Just glad I can be on the helping side again
