PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE
Ron Gamache
So what you think of the picture of me to the right? Well
it sure looks like me and I have to admit there is a lot of
gray there. Well at least I have something to turn gray.
Well there will be a different picture next month!!!!!!
As president I always feel like I should create
a “presidential” article, something like the
“state of the chapter”. Well I have all I can
do just to get this program to work. There is
nothing like learning a new computer
program of course if I would have submitted
my article on time this problem would not
have come up. So I wish to thank Irv for
stepping up and becoming the Newsletter
There are also other events and rides that
are going to be going on in the next few
months, please see the enclosed calendar
for all the dates and times. Just remember
when all else fails feel free to give me a
call. I would appreciate any input the
members have in regards to rides and
events. Just get me the who what where
and when so that I can present it to the

stepping up and becoming the Newsletter
Editor and next month my article will be in
on time. I should put his picture in this
thing, and believe me it will be there in the
next news letter.
So let’s have a contest to see who has the
“best” picture of Irv for next months news
letter. Just e-mail me or post it on the Lambs
that Roar face-book page. The winner gets
to see the picture he provided in the news
letter.
I hope that some of you all will be able to
visit us in Daytona for Bike Week. Once
again we will be at the Nova camp ground.
There is no cost to chapter members to stay
at the sight. So come on down and visit. We
have spare tents if you do not have one.
Come stay for a night or the whole week.
There will be great fellowship and plenty of
opportunities to minister.
and when so that I can present it to the
chapter. A good time to present this info is
at the officer meeting. That way the
officers can talk it over and fit it into the
calendar.
Now for a commercial break to bring up
Run For The Son coming up the first
Saturday in May which is the 4th. This is
our only fundraiser for the year. We are
going to have it a Yankees' farm again this
year. There will be overnight camping and
plenty of fellowship for those who want to
get there early or stay over. This year we
are going to have the food catered it will be
a good spread.
Well I finally filled up all the space and it’s
time to start to close. God Bless You All
and keep an eye out for those who do not
see you. Keep the shinny side up.

MESSAGE

Chaplain
----THE PROMISE----
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will
come again and receive you to myself; that where I
am, there you may be also.” John 14:3----Jesus is
coming again. He promised. Nothing could be more
certain than the return of Christ because He gave
His promise that He would come again. That
promise was given to encourage the disciples
because of His coming crucifixion. They would be
separated from Him and reunited for a brief time
following the resurrection. These men had left all to
follow Him. They needed to know about His plans
for the future. But what does the return of Christ
mean to you and me? It means that all Christians
will be caught up to meet Him when He returns. It
means that all should prepare for His coming. Are

ROAD CAPTAIN’S CORNERHi all, this is Ron and I am writing the Road Captain’s Article for
this month. First off I wish to thank Andy for taking over as Road
Captain. Let’s give him our support as he takes on this position.
Being the Road Captain is a difficult office, as it has a lot or
responsibilities and stress. Leading a ride has a lot of pressure
as all eyes are on you. If you miss a turn everyone knows about
it. There is also the matter of safety, planning the rides, and all
sort of other stuff. I hope when Andy reads this that he doesn’t
get overwhelmed and quit. Please keep him in you prayers.
Now to get to the article this moth we are
going to talk about saddle bags. Those
are the things that are attached to the
side of your bike that one gets to put all
sort of “stuff” in. What I want to do is talk
about what to put in the bags. If you
have a sport bike and have no saddle
bags you probably have a nice back
pack that rides with you. OK, first off a
biker bible in a plastic baggie, some
March 2013 Page 5
biker bible in a plastic baggie, some
tracks, and a blessing sticker or two. If
you need a copy and a plastic bags and
or some tracks get a hole of me and I will
provide you with some.
Now for some other things you should
have in there. Some rain gear would be
nice along with gloves maybe some
extra clothing in case it gets colder. This
time of year you never know what to
expect. I could be warm and sunny
which means sun block or cold and or
rainy. Chaps are a good thin to have in
there if it gets cold you can always take
them off but you cant put on what you
don’t have. Be blessed and ride safe.

The Story Behind Easter
Easter is the most religious day of the year, to most christians. It's the day Jesus arose
from the dead. It's a festive holiday with spring colors, easter eggs, flowers, and bunnies.
How does Jesus's resurrection correlate with eggs and bunnies? How did his resurection
correspond with Easter? Easter has been celebrated, since at least, the fourth
century and an annual celebration of the resurrection. Even when some churches did'nt
accept some of the religous holidays, Easter has always been a Special Day for christians.
Before the fourth century, christians celebrated "Pascha or Pesach", adapted from the
Jews. Pesach was a celebration of the crucifixtion and resurrection of Jesus, this was
celebrated in spring. Many gentile christians did'nt want to accept Jewish traditions but
gradually, after the fourth century, Easter became an accepted holiday. Easter and
holidays related to it (passover)are movable feast. They do not fall on a cetain date.
The're based on the lunar calender, created by the Council of Nicaea, in A.D. 325. The
calculations of their dates are complicated but Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday
following the first full moon after the Spring Equinix (March 21st).
Easter can be from March 22nd to April 25th. In Western Christianity, Easter marks the
end of the forty days of Lent. During Lent, we fast and pray to prepare for Easter,
beginning Ash Wednesday and ending on Easter Sunday. Easter has not fallen on March
22nd since 1818 and won't until 2285!
Easter also has a non religous side. During
March 2013 Page 9
Easter also has a non religous side. During
the second century, Easter was originally a
pagan festival. The ancient saxons
celebrated this holiday for their goddess of
of Spring and Springtime, Eastre. When the
christians noticed many tribes were
worshipping Eastre, they attempted to
change their faith to christianity. The
christians slowly, but surely, spread their
faith but allowed the tribes to celebrate
pagan feasts, Eastre occured at the same
time as Christ's Resurrection. Over time,
Eastre was converted to a christian
celebration and named Easter.during Easter
we have many symbols. The cross is not
only a year round symbol, but an Easter
symbol also. It symbolizes the
crucifixion of Jesus.

Changing the world one heart at a timeWho Is Your Guide?By: John Ogden, Sr.
Thy Word have I hidden in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. (Psalm 119:11)
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalm 119:105)
The answers to the issues of life are found in God’s Word. It is as relevant today as it was when it was first written. Living a Christian life requires that we give up our rights and become slaves to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.Having the opportunity to pray and talk with many people, I am always amazed that we seemingly are our worst enemies. We get ourselves in all kinds of difficult situations and then look to God for help. While it is always good to take our needs to the Lord, we should also be allowing Him to direct our lives.
Verse 11 gives us instructions on dealing with sin. It says that we are to hide God’s Word in our heart that we may not sin against Him. Romans 12:1, 2 states, we are to renew our minds by the reading of the Word. God’s Word is meant to be hidden in our hearts and to be the compass of our lives that we may know the good and acceptable will of God.
Verse 105 states that the Word is to be a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Many times in my own life, when things become difficult, I realize that I have allowed myself to drift from the place that God has called me to be. I am always thankful that Jesus stands willing, with arms outstretched to receive me, as well as you. But, a better place to be is to have God’s Word planted and watered (through reading it) in our hearts, so that our paths

better place to be is to have God’s Word planted and watered (through reading it) in our hearts, so that our paths may be straight. There is no foundation beyond God’s Word. We need the Word of God to overcome the world.Are you continually hiding His Word in your heart that you may know His will? Are you being led by the Word? Is your path being illuminated by God’s Word? May we be challenged to read and meditate on God’s Word for the directions of life!
