WWI, WWII, and Viet Nam. I enjoy movies about people and events in history. W.O.G. Some of your favorite magazines to read? Be honest. M.E. I'm not a big magazine or novel reader. I do read WOG and HOG, but I rarely pick up a motorcycle magazine. I just don't. W.O.G. Back to chrome and horsepower.. What is your dream bike? M.E. When I go to the shows and events, the only thing that ever really catches my a en on is "old school." I'm not into ridiculously stretched and raked choppers that you wouldn't want to ride for more than ten miles. I love an old bike restored to stock or maybe a mild custom. W.O.G: What is your dream car or truck? M.E. Easy! 1955 Chevy Bel Air. I was born in 1955 and I've always liked that "shoe box" look. Not a 56, not a 57, but a 1955. W.O.G. What's your favorite color? M.E. Black W.O.G. What's your favorite kind of food? M.E. Anything that doesn't run faster than me! Sushi is always a treat! W.O.G. What's your favorite animal? M.E. Dogs! I love dogs! I've always had dogs and wouldn't be happy if I didn't have one. If I lived on a ranch or a farm I would have ten dogs! W.O.G. Who are your heroes? M.E. "…a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble quali es." Well, I admire a lot of people; contemporary and in history, but I don't know that I have any heroes. I think that is because we are all so flawed. Every me I speak of someone as a hero, someone spoils it and says, "Well ya know…" W.O.G. Aside from the Bible, what is your favorite book? M.E. I read "Worship His Majesty" by Jack Hayford and then planted The Lamb's Fellowship Church. I read "Wild At Heart" by John Eldredge and then started Black Sheep. I've read "be er" books, but those are two that changed my life. W.O.G. You have also wri en... two books? M.E. Actually, my wife Debbie and I wrote those books together. The first one, Psalms for Bikers, includes the first fi y Psalms and stories from the road. The second book was similar, only we used fi y stories from the New Testament. W.O.G. What inspired you to write them? M.E. The idea was to put a small book into the hands of bikers who may not be ready to jump into the Scriptures. Everyone's giving Bibles to bikers, and that's great, but these books are culture specific and not in mida ng in terms of size and content. Chapters are only 2-3 pages. Chris an and non- Chris ans both have enjoyed them too. W.O.G. Where are the books available? M.E. The two books are available at Amazon.com and BlackSheepHDFC.org and soon at www.WheelsOfGrace.com. W.O.G: How do you want to be remembered? M.E. Unless someone is really famous…like Abraham Lincoln, nobody is really remembered beyond the third genera on. Very few people can tell you the name of their great grandparents. For that reason, I hope my children and my grandchildren will remember the best of me (I would also like to be remembered for dinner.) W.O.G. As we close this interview, anything you would like to leave us with? A final thought? About serving the Lord, following the Lord or any other? M.E. Life goes fast! I was seventeen just a few weeks ago. The only things that we do that will have eternal benefits are those things we do in Christ. Everything else will rust or decay. Stop be ng on a dying horse! The world is passing away. Invest everything you have in the Kingdom of God! "Christo Et Rego Ejus" (For Christ and His Kingdom!) 30 WheelsOfGrace.com Issue 36
