todays bike ride

I went about 14 miles in two hours, this morning. My excuse for my slowness is that I have to stop for intersections and traffic lights. Also I cannot stop picking up plastic and aluminum. I cannot pick up as much but I am learning where the recycling boxes are. FYI: There are several in front of the soccer stadium.

The major bike trails are called the Columbia Tap Trail to Rail and the Heights Trail. I connected from one to the other. The Heights Trail had quite a few bicycles on it.

Everyone else has a helmet but me. Maybe I should use April's.

I miss walking but I can surely go further on the bicycle. I will ride at least once a week. But I will also continue to walk. Call it cross training. I feel a bit less sweaty after riding. The main effort is in my thighs. The rest of me is mostly at rest. I used the radio today. I have not done that in a while.

glorious God

"God will give you the power that you need to do what you need to do, but you will not feel powerful.

"So folks you will not feel qualified to do the work that God is calling you to do, and you won't be qualified, but God will do the work as you do it, and then He will honor Himself and you with Him. Remarkable what God does." - Dr. James Allman of DTS as he teaches on Joshua in OT 102

This is such a good summary of our relationship with God as we serve him.
