Did You Know That I Ride A Bicycle?
You know what? This blog is about my life. Not just spiritual things. I think it’s unfair to only consider the spiritual aspects of my life. It’s certainly unbalanced. And, I’ve decided to make this blog reflect my life as a whole, rather than my sporadic “super-spiritual” moments. Certainly, spirituality is a very big part of my life, and it impacts and influences every little thing I do, but to focus solely on that aspect of my life is to do a terrible injustice to the rest of who God created me to be. This post marks the beginning of that change on this blog. So, hold on to your hats…here we go!
I’ve committed to riding a bicycle everywhere I can possibly do so, even in the face of inconvenience. Frankly, winter and rain have been my two biggest concerns. So, I’ve decided to blog my way through this winter on my bicycle. It will help me have a chance to look back and see whether it was really worth it or not. And, several people have expressed some concern or questioned whether it was possible, so this will be a chance to get something of an inside look at what it’s really like.
I realize that riding around in the snow with cars on ice is potentially dangerous, but I’ve invested in steel-studded tires, and taken several other safety precautions, but more on that later. That’s some of the stuff that I’m going to blog about…no need to spill the beans now, besides, I don’t know for sure how well they will work, yet.
Tomorrow, I’ll put up some basic info on the different kinds of bicycles and explain one of the biggest obstacles I have had to overcome so far.
See ya then!

Hmm. If I didn’t live so far from work and school I might try it.

So I guess this means if we don’t see a post for a week or two once bad weather hits we can assume you’ve been run over by a car.
Just kidding. I think this is a good idea. Ought to be a learning experience.

Chet, thanks for the encouragement!
I came to the realization, recently, that I have been separating spirituality out from the rest of my life. I am currently attempting to bring the two back together, and this blog, as a part of my life, is going to reflect that…hopefully.
And, I think you are correct…the two are definitely more intertwined than we think, and probably more than we can even understand!

Cool beans. And btw, I don’t think that you should feel the need to separate “real life” from “spiritual life.” I am finding more and more that the two worlds are more intertwined than we think. Perhaps they are the same world, just different perspectives. I don’t know, just a thought.
