Welcome to the middle of the week. Wednesday’s normally a day off here, but today I’m recommending a quick side trip over to Rich’s Ride. If you haven’t seen it yet, you’ll get a brief video tour of the new bike that’s going to take me on my big adventure. While you’re there, consider subscribing […]

No Fair!
I gave up a long time ago on expecting life to be fair. It’s not, and that’s just the way it is. However, some things just go beyond what’s reasonable. As we get older, we all learn to accept certain limitations. We may not like them, we may not think they’re fair, but we live […]

Have you ever actually used a shield? I’m not sure I ever have, at least not for real. But I’ve seen shields used a lot in movies and never really thought about how to use one until our pastor made an interesting observation a few weekends ago. It’s almost impossible to use a shield effectively […]

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you, but I begin this new week in a very real battle with today’s word-of-the-week… TRUST Ever notice how much easier it is to talk about trust than it is to do it? I began thinking seriously about RICH’S RIDE in January. I thought about the logistical issues, the problems […]

I know—the title’s kind of brash. But I believe I may have stumbled upon an idea that will make me a rock star among Christian thinkers. I have discovered a formula for following Jesus. I know how improbable that sounds, but I’ve done it. Follow my three-step formula and you’ll be a guaranteed follower of […]

Do you think it matters “why” you do the right thing? Training for Rich’s Ride is teaching me a lot. If nothing else, riding mostly alone for 3-4 hours per day provides a lot of time to think. I thought I knew about getting in shape. There’s a process—you do certain things, follow the steps, […]

Today I’m asking a question over at Rich’s Ride: Who’s Gonna Ride Along? Perhaps you’d like to pop over there and check it out. BTW–what do you think of our new logo? Halfway point of the week–how’s the new chapter of your life story going? I hope you’re writing something remarkable.

Okay, the ride begins in less than five weeks. It’s time to start filling in some important details. Rich’s Ride will require support from many people in many different roles. Two essential roles involve direct support for the ride on a daily basis. RIDERS We’d like at least one person to ride with Rich at […]
Continue readingIt’s All In Your Head
Have you ever been at a place where you thought you just couldn’t keep going? I was cranking up a long hill last week. I felt hot and tired and thirsty, and the shade from that big tree looked awfully inviting. It felt like I couldn’t possibly make it to the top without stopping. Internal […]

I can’t say it enough—dreams don’t happen through the efforts of one or two people. In our media-intensive culture, we frequently don’t look beneath the surface. Too often we place credit or blame on whoever happens to be in front of a camera. When you listen to athletes reflect on their careers, most of them […]
