Run for the Son

Steve used his love for motorcycles to be involved with the Christian Motorcycle Association and he loved the opportunities for ministry there.

The CMA puts on an event every year called Run for the Son where they raise money to donate to three Christian charities.
1. Open Doors
2. The Jesus Film
3. Missionary Ventures

Steve told me that on average every dollar that is donated to Run for the Son means 1 person is brought to Christ. That's an amazing return on investment, in my opinion. $1 = 1 soul.
I have added this donation button so that you can donate to Run for the Sun in memory of Steve Ashbrook. He would be very honored. Thank you.

Comfortable love

Being loved by the same person for 18 years made me comfortable. I knew beyond any doubt that I could trust him to be there and he would do everything in his power to make my life better.

That's what happens when you are the most important person in someone's life. You will do whatever it takes to show them how important they are.

When a spouse dies, you immediately feel the pain of your loss. You immediately realize that you've lost the them and you can no longer be with them. Later, you realize that you are no longer loved like that; that comfortable love that you've always felt is gone. Now, he doesn't comfort me when I'm crying. He doesn't tell me he loves me anymore. I will never be the most important person again. This explains the phenomenon of when a spouse dies, the other half often dies within 2 years. How do you go from feeling that loved and important to feeling nothing but heartache.
