Herb Was One of A Kind

ONE OF A KIND. Herb Shreve. He was the last of the breed. He believed, wholly and completely, that God called him to minister to motorcyclists. He never got impatient with anybody who approached him. He never failed to have a sharp comeback to someone who tried to pull some humor on him. I never saw him bend from his principles just to "get along." Often during the day, or late at night, he would retire to his room to read his Bible and to make sermon notes on a tablet. The satchels and boxes I picked up from his wife Mary have a ton of Herb's tablets and notes. He never saw himself as anything more than a small town preacher. He never sought fame or money. Truly a "FISHER OF MEN" - he impacted my life as no man ever did. If I must, I will become a Circuit Rider to get his story out there. Just as Francis Asbury rode his circuit on a horse, Herb Shreve rode his circuit on a motorcycle. The mission was the same - "One heart at a time."
