Motorcycle Suspension
OK, I had to climb up on a lift that my bike was fastened to and have these three guys shake and adjust the suspension. They assured me I would not fall off. I am afraid of heights so it was a little scary :) The bike seems to handle better already. Love this motorcycle stuff!!!
Ben is going to a track day on Monday. Wish I could be there (to watch) not ready to be “in” a track day....
Friends
What a blessing friends are. They are a gift to be cherished and protected.
True friends have a mutual respect and admiration for each other. A true friend speaks truth to you and if you are smart you listen to what they say. I have been so busy that I have not stopped to nurture the friendship that I have built along my life’s journey. I am sure glad that some of my friends have been...
Captivity of Activity
When we keep ourselves so busy “doing” and not “being” we fail to hear the voice of God. I have failed in the past to hear what God was trying to tell me because of all the noise in my life.

Restructuring our lives
I was reading a devotional book by Beth Moore called Whispers of Hope. Day Nine talks about I Corinthians 10:31 “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” The challenge she gave was to:
Reestablish the goal-Isaiah 43:7
Redirect your focus-Matthew 6:33
Rethink your motivation-Galatians 1:10
Rest in God’s will-Hebrews 4:10
I was caught in the captivity of activity. I...
