I would like to start this blog out by saying a thank you to those of you who have enjoyed the pictures I have taken this season and in the past years.  It has been something I have done as just a hobby and that I don't do it to take away from those who are out doing pictures as a job.

This brings me to share the plans I have for the future of attending races.  Though I will still take pictures at races that I'll attend, I'm going to focus more on being at the races as the Motocross Ministry that I run.  For those of you who have been at tracks such as Soaring Edge Motocross and Riverside Raceway, you will know that I have done a prayer over the PA System.  In most racing its also known as a invocation and is something that I plan on doing more often at tracks that I'll be attending.  This means that I may be visiting less tracks in the future, so that I can keep the focus on why I attend the races and that is to be available for everyone.

One thing I like to start doing more is to pray for those of you who would like some one-on-one prayer.  In some cases, if allowed, I'll be available to pray for anyone that would want to be prayed for as your waiting your turn at the starting gates for your race.

Another thing that I would want to do is to offer a Track Side Service.  At some tracks, this could take place Saturday Evening, but at other events, it may take place on Sunday Morning.  Times would depend on when the Track-Side Service would take place and how the service can be fit in before race day activities get started.

More details and future plans to expand the ministry to offer more services for you the riders and your families will be shared soon.  I'm also open for suggestions from all of you about the ministry.

God Bless
