(Note: I’m posting this on both blogs. Sorry if you received it twice.) So … did you get out into the madness of Black Friday? I’m never quite sure what to do with the day after Thanksgiving. After an overdose of turkey and being stuffed with stuffing, after football and naps and pumpkin pie, after […]

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1 A couple of weeks ago I accomplished a dream. I’m still learning from the experience. Perhaps […]

Happy Monday. I’ve been thinking a lot about today’s word-of-the-week… PERCEIVE I’m still trying to process the experience of Rich’s Ride. Folks keep asking me what I learned, what my big “take-aways” are. I’m seeking the theme, the pattern, the big picture created by all of the individual snapshots. It’s like stepping back from a […]

I believe Rich’s Ride is a story worth sharing. I hope that doesn’t sound arrogant or self-serving. I’ve seen enough evidence to convince me that lots of people are inspired and encouraged by this message of dreams and possibility.

I ran across this photo from the movie Gladiator the other day. As I looked at the scene I realized that it contains two types of characters. Most of the people sit in the stands and watch. A few choose to enter the arena. That’s a sad metaphor for how life works. Rich’s Ride has […]

We exchanged a few emails and developed a good dialogue. At one point Bob said something curious. “You have an advantage […]

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about gratitude. Rich’s Ride has focused my attention on the incredible generosity that surrounds me, the blessings that constantly arrive on my doorstep. It’s impossible to ignore the reality that I’ve got much for which to be thankful. I could write a few words about how grateful I am. […]

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and … let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. # # # # # Those words from Hebrews 12 describe my feelings as I cranked along the Mississippi River. Becky and Monte […]

On the final day of Rich’s Ride I spent some time wondering what final insights I might glean from the scripture I’d been pondering for the past eight weeks. I recalled a pastor friend suggesting that a good tactic involves highlighting different words. So for a few miles I thought about how the third line […]
