I rode year round to work for a couple of years here in Oklahoma. Came home one evening and peeled off my boots to find ice in my socks. Father, grant my Brother Iain the peace of Your Presence while he chases the wind of Your Spirit.
He's definitely there when I ride. The temperature in the holler never rose above 35° today plus I had a bunch of chores assigned to me, one of which made my neck go "ping!" so, now I'm in my neck brace. Mmm...maybe Sunday.
Let us know how Sunday (today) turns out, my man.
Riding is probably a good way for you to enter into communion with Him.
"I ain't never gonna announce my intention to ride no more, never !" That is the most emphatic statement of intent possible in the Hillbilly language.
My right foot is swollen too much to fit all the layers of socks on my feet and then into my boot so, ain't riding! Bluhh! From now on, I'm only gonna talk mc when I'm finished riding.
On a more depressing note, I went to church this morning without considering tomorrow is Veterans/Armistice Day. Recognize the vets, I got no problems with that and I will sing the star spangled banner with my hand over my heart. Funny though, there wasn't exactly any national unity over the war of 1812. However, it's the pledge of allegiance that I won't have no part of. Anyway, it was the typical 'merka oorah! Evangosermon, you know the kind I'm talking about. I have to remind myself that I'm there because of relationships I have that go back 20 years, be who I am and forget about the rest. I have an ear bud that connects to the sound system and can turn it off when the preacher gets silly. (Every reference to Israel read as meaning America silly).
Drew Brees, 1st game back and getting creamed today. I miss NFL Sunday Ticket, being able to watch whichever game I want and switching back and forth is pretty dang awesome. Regular TV NFC is Panthers every week and I don't like them, AFC is the Patriots and they're okay but, I don't remember being anything but, a Raider fan and we don't get their games much in the East.
