The first Mississippi Silent Ride for Jesus happened on a beautiful sunny day on the Barnett Reservoir near Jackson. We had a good turnout (26 riders), and all had a moving and meaningful worship experience. I was a little surprised at my own reaction. I usually ride alone, and most of the time I'm silent and often meditating or praying. However, there was something very different about riding in a group that was consciously quiet and knowing that we were all thinking about Jesus. As we rode across the causeway, I kept singing hymns in my mind, especially "For the Beauty of the Earth" and its refrain "Lord of all to Thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise." I really appreciated the opportunity to ride with a group of believers who share a love for the Lord.
