Light And Dark

When it’s dark, we can turn on the light. But…when it’s light, we cannot turn on the dark. The only way to create darkness is to extinguish the light. Seems like there’s a great deal of darkness around these days. We can do something about it, of course. We can turn on the light. We […]

A Huge Success (Video)

When you launch something new, there’s always a bit of anxiety. A few months ago when the notion of bike tours seemed a bit far-fetched, we dreamed with the folks at Project Rescue about some sort of virtual miles challenge. The result was two parallel efforts. I’ve told you about the HOPE & FREEDOM CHALLENGE…more […]

2020 Recap

How will you remember 2020? Becky and I will recall a year of hope and possibility.We’ll remember your commitment, generosity, and faithfulness. On behalf of the entire FREEDOM TOUR team, THANK YOU! We’ve compiled lots of pictures, videos, and numbers into our annual review. Please click the link. We think you’ll be encouraged and inspired. […]

Want To Go Fast? (Video)

Ever wonder what it would be like to scream down a Colorado canyon on your bike? Hop on Curtis Jensen’s handlebars as he descends from Peak-to-Peak Highway to Lyons…and plays high-speed tag with team members Mike Valdez, David Kreigshauser, and John Terpstra. Wondering how fast? Top speed = 54 mph. Hang on tight! Can’t see […]

Front Range Tour 2020 (Video)

FRONT RANGE TOUR 2020 was a blast. Here’s a chance to take a quick ride with the team through the beautiful foothills and along the wonderful trails in Northern Colorado. Enjoy! Can’t see the video? Click here.

Listening Is Hard.

A few weeks back, I made a commitment to listen. It was clear to me that there were voices and ideas I didn’t completely understand. I wanted to know, as much as it’s possible, what it’s like to see the world from a perspective different than my own. The only way to accomplish that is […]

Accurate. And Wrong

Tommie and Hank Aaron hold the MLB record for career home runs by two brothers. They averaged 384 career homers. That’s a lot. Hank Aaron was the greatest home run hitter in baseball history. His career total (755) set the major league record (*see note below). Tommie Aaron played for several years and hit 13 […]

What Will They Remember?

These words haunt me. None of us can know how we’ll be remembered. I pray for wisdom, because I do not want to be remembered as a silent friend. “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.Not to speak is to speak.Not to act is to act.” ― Dietrich […]

But Wait!

Don’t you love those ads? The guy yells at you, and just when you think he’s FINALLY done, he raises his voice a notch to announce the really-super-extra-special deal. This is sorta like that. When we act in the name of justice we believe God uses every mile, every drop of sweat, every act of […]

We Did It!

When we launched the HOPE & FREEDOM CHALLENGE, Becky said our goal should be 50,000 miles. I’m all for big dreams, but I didn’t think we’d accumulate more than three round trips to and from the HOME OF HOPE in south Asia. All summer we’ve watched the miles pile up. Folks ran through mid-western heat […]

Pollution (And S’mores)

Our friend Mary took a walk. Might not seem like a big deal, but Colorado is currently experiencing several nasty high-country wildfires. As smoke from those fires drifts onto the Front Range, it feels like we’re living 24/7 around a campfire – minus the s’mores. Local news now includes a “smoke forecast.” The usually stunning […]

“Our” Wine

Last time I talked about my vineyard. I traced a personal response to Jesus’ story about a vineyard owner. It’s the way Americans tend to view most lessons, because we’re an individual-oriented culture. As I learn more about Jesus, I’m not sure it’s the best perspective. He spoke frequently in the context of community. The […]
