A Remarkable Circle

Planning a project like this is a pretty humbling experience. It’s really amazing to feel the power of a community forming around a dream. People are stepping into the circle from all directions, asking how they can help, and running with their ideas. I’ll do some short posts this week to offer some insight about […]

My Hand Cycle And My Best Friend

I’d like to tell you a story about my closest friend. It’s been on my mind a lot lately because it’s directly related to RICH’S RIDE. In March of 1999 I wanted to try hand cycling; Wayne went along to help. I got on the demo bike and tottered along like a little kid riding for the […]

Train Your Brain

How much do you read? Want to consider a staggering statistic? One-third of high school graduates never read another book in their entire lives, along with 42% of college graduates. Wow. We can’t get enough reality TV. Sports are not only broadcast but analyzed in paralyzing detail. And when the real games aren’t sufficient, there’s fantasy sports. Video […]

Spiritual Junk Food

How much do you think about what you eat? Today I want to link two apparently unrelated topics. Topic #1 I’m typically not good about eating healthy. I’m desperately searching for a dietician who’ll endorse my belief that Oreos should be a basic food group. So far, no luck. However, as I train for a […]

Who’s First?

Happy Saturday! I admire Tony Dungy. In the world of big-time, big-money sports, he’s one guy who’s kept his priorities in order. Here’s coach Dungy talking about adversity. (If you can’t see the video, click here.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL7QV8UNm58 Have a great weekend!

Do Worship Styles Matter?

How much do you think about worship styles? I’m frequently amazed by my church’s worship. I always thought church meant a narrow set of traditional elements. Every church I ever attended had hymnals and organ music, with an occasional quiet guitar tossed in. There were almost always choir robes, and ministers wore robes or conservative […]

Does God Care About My Circumstances?

I’m wondering if the important things in life depend less on my circumstances and more on me becoming a better person. What’s your take on this statement? I’ve been listening lately to what people seem to pray about, what they ask others to pray about. I’ve been thinking a lot about the content of my […]

Autopilot

Happy Monday! In my world, I need to begin this week with a renewed commitment. That’s because of my word-of-the-week… AUTOPILOT I feel like I need to apologize to you. A whole bunch of things got really busy during the past two weeks, most of them related to RICH’S RIDE. I realized over the weekend […]
