it's been. Sheesh, sometimes life just blinks by. Other times, it seems slower than watching grass grow!

The new bike is awesome. Gonna have to pick a name for this one. Started to go with Zeus but it seems like everyone gives their bike a feminine name, so I haven't, yet. Problem is, I just can't find anything feminine about this bike. Pure muscle and that is in stone stock form. Twist the throttle and you are already where you wanted to be!

I've put over 500 miles on it in the last week. Rode it to work every day this week until today. Man, I'm tired! Ordered custom seats for it earlier in the week, appropriately named the "Big Boy" seat. Ordered the rider backrest with it, that should help the comfort level. Put a set of Kuryakyn grips on it yesterday. They are both good looking and functional.

So that has been most of what I've been up to. Class last Sunday was, once again, lively. Something about the group has changed, not sure what but the guys are willing to go a little deeper than normal. Probably just the personality of those that are attending.

The building itself is a mess. Walls torn out, doors cut through walls, the price of progress. But technically, everything worked - kudos to the General, Bear and Chief for that.

The pastor is doing a great job during the Sunday night Bible study walking through Revelation. So many people don't understand that this was a letter written relevant to the times in which it was written and is about the fall of Rome as much as it is about the "end times".

Speaking of religion, the idiots in West Texas were all in the news. From their bizarre practices, to their law breaking, to the states abuse of due process, they were everywhere. And will be for some time. Talk about an unpopular thing to stand up for. Due process is about gone, particularly when it comes to groups that people don't like. So unless you don't mind being called all sorts of vile things, don't stand up for anything unpopular.

One of my class members, KO, was in a bad bike accident Tuesday. Scared the bejabbers out of me when I got the call from Pop! Man, anyone can have a wreck but KO is the hardest core biker in our group. When I heard he was sent to the hospital via Life Flight, I just broke down. But he's a tough old coot and is gonna be back on a bike before you know it, rescuing a kid here, witnessing to a biker there, starting another church somewhere. 

Then I went on the two PGR rides. I think this one got to me because of the way the family handled everything with such grace. His father is Music Minister at First Baptist Church in Rosharon and I'd just about bet he knows my brother from the Singing Men of Texas.

The way that the Cunningham family handled this tragedy reminded me of the way my brother and his family handled the death of my niece, their child and sister. They were incredibly strong throughout. To this day I can hear their strong and clear voices above all others as we sang during the funeral.

These witnesses serve to remind me that there is so much more to life than pettiness and bickering. Life is to be lived full and flat out, using the short time that we have on this earth to make a difference in the lives of those around us.

Right where we are is right where we need to be.

american woman   |2008-05-03 16:33:11 I really enjoyed reading your thoughts. I agree due process is about gone. I came to realize something else. We could repeat a slaughter like the 6 million Jews. If we were fed the right information, we would be no better than the past. I always thought we were better than that. We aren't. Reply | Quote
