I have been biking into work every other day. My body is telling me it’s not ready for hardcore biking but I keep trying to assure it that it really is. I have put down 120 miles in the last 9 days alone (and plan to push that number to about 120 miles for 5 days over the next week and a half). I am hopefully going to ride some of the track Sunday to get used to what it will be like. My coworker Sloth (yes that is his legal name) has been helping me along with this. We meet up each morning that I bike (I ride about 4 miles to meet up and then the other 6.6 are together). It’s great biking with other people, life gets hard when you try to go it alone. In other news, I found out that I live right by a prayer house! I want to spend a lot more time there. In fact, I plan on visiting them tomorrow to hang out, worship Jesus, and pray for those who need (whether or not they know it) prayer. It is also a great way for me to understand the gifts that the Spirit has given me! Further news, this being long weekend, I am not planning on doing anything other than hanging out in Grand Rapids. Various ideas were tossed around but staying in town seemed the best. I will hopefully be able to serve communion at the Vineyard on Sunday also, I really like being able to give out of myself to others (although I have a really hard time showing it in close contact with other people).
