Fasting and Riding

Our Sr. Pastor has called for a 21 day fast for direction in the new year.

So KJ and I discussed how we could participate in a way that we could succeed. we decided to do the Daniel fast which is really a diet of raw fruit veggies and nuts. We are on day 3 and going pretty well.

We have been on the trainer now twice and KJ is doing great. Actually better than me. The last time we rode, about 20 minutes into it I was ready to quit but she was looking very strong and really good in those biking shorts if I may say.

I will try to post updates on the fast and how we are doing on our goals for the 21 days. God is so faithful and I am looking forward to great times of revelation and fellowship.

I hope you are having a great start to 2007.

Cycling with KJ

I can’t wait for good riding weather this spring. I won’t be riding alone. KJ is getting this for Christmas:

It’s a Specialized Dolce, and it’s very purple!

It’s going to be a great year.

He’s Innocent, Guilty, Awe shucks

I have been bicycling for the last 6 years and really loving it. As a result have gotten interested in the TDF and pro-cycling in general. At this years tour Floyd Landis made me proud to be an American and a cyclist. Then the news broke that he had tested positive for testosterone at unnatural levels. My heart was broken but I believe that he is innocent until proven guilty. I have been following the story pretty closely and this morning some interesting articles turned up on the bicycling magazine website. I will link to them below if your interested. If nothing else it has been an interesting study in sociology.

He’s Innocent

He’s Guilty

And It Breaks My Heart (language alert)

I know this is off of the main point of this blog but it’s interesting to me.
