Cycling

a Jesus thought...
"Yes—and if you embrace this kingdom life and don't doubt God, you'll not only do minor feats like I did to the fig tree, but also triumph over huge obstacles. This mountain, for instance, you'll tell, 'Go jump in the lake,' and it will jump. Absolutely everything, ranging from small to large, as you make it a part of your believing prayer, gets included as you lay hold of God." (Matthew 21:21-22)

a Godly thought...
The church can never tolerate any limits set to the love and service of the brethren. (p232 Bonhoeffer)

a leading thought...
A leader must lead by example, this takes dedication, stamina, courage, fairness, honesty, patience, and persistence. (p185 Barber)
a Dave thought...

This week I have taken up an invite by Dave Barker (Camberwell Salvos) to join some cycling groups. The first group I went with is called the Mailing Room Ride they leave at 6am Tuesdays & Thursdays & the second group the Red Rooster Ride leaves at 7am on Saturdays they are both named by the starting points on Canterbury Road.

After completing the two 30km+ rides I realise once again the value of training in community. As we chat along the way we not only learn heaps about bike gear, technique, and training tips but we also get a glimpse of each others lives.

I'm sure JC did the whole discipleship thing with 12 for this very purpose not only for learning and supporting but when things go bad or you get a flat tyre at the back of the pack you are not left alone.

Just a thought.
