I finished True Believer by Jack Carr last night (2nd book of the Terminal List series). This was toward the end: Yes. Fitness is perishable. It’s also takes time to resurrect. I’m tryin’ to! Happy Saturday and a belated Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Non-tl;dr version: You cannot go wrong with eBikes USA in Denver or the Troxus Explorer. You’ll notice that that first line sort ‘a duplicates the first line of my post about another electric bicycle. 🙂 The constant? eBikes USA! (This time a special shout-out to Chris. Thanks Chris!) I’m going to keep this post short…
Recommended: eBikes USA and the Aventon Abound
Non-tl;dr version: You cannot go wrong with eBikes USA in Denver or the Aventon Abound. When I was young, my bicycle equaled freedom. It allowed me to get further than was realistic for my legs, whether it was to the lake a couple miles up the road or, in high school, visiting my friends nine…
A Bulgarian Doing a Bulgarian
Have I told you how much I hate Bulgarians? Not the people, the exercise! (Bulgarian split squat.) Well, I figured I’d try an AI image generator to get a Bulgarian doing a Bulgarian. Being a total newbie, I got some interesting results, but nothing close to a Bulgarian doing a Bulgarian. Until… The final prompt…
Big Dad Ritch’s Testimony
This is an inspiring Christian testimony from Big Dad Ritch of the Texas Hippie Coalition. I recorded it during the “The Name Lives On” release party at the Wild Goose Saloon in Parker, Colorado on Friday, April 21, 2023. In the video, the actual song follows the testimony. Be sure to listen to it on…
2023 New Year’s Resolutions
Happy New Year! May 2023 be the best year ever for you and yours. Right or wrong, illogical or not, New Year’s Day is a good time to make resolutions. Yeah, maybe it is an excuse to procrastinate (e.g. Why didn’t you start doing X or Y months ago?) Maybe we are setting ourselves up…
Shoveling Snow
If I keep posting like this, you’ll think I am just a marketing arm for The Athlete District, but… Late May of 2021, I snapped the patella tendon on my left knee. Since then, shoveling snow wasn’t a possibility…and probably on the dangerous side. Until recently, after being a member of The Athlete District and…
How Do You Want to Be Remembered?
Today’s Bible reading (2 Chronicles 12-34) had, within it, a study in contrasts. First, a king of Judah dies: 18 After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels. 19 In the course of time, at the end of the second year, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he…
“Now to Him…”
“Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.” Jude 24-25 (ESV)
Merry Christmas from Chewie and Me!
A Man Called Ove
Want a feel good, incredibly touching movie? Just watched this film with my wife (“A Man Called Ove”): Might be the best movie I’ve seen all year.
Indoctrination or Faithful Discipleship?
Earlier today, Steve Camp tweeted this question: To some fellow pastors: do you think training men for pastoral ministry is a matter of indoctrination or faithful discipleship? Ty…@JoshBuice @tomascol @Ken_FiveSolas @PastorMike @PastorKenTCAPP — PastorSteveCamp (@PastorSJCamp) December 16, 2022 To some fellow pastors: do you think training men for pastoral ministry is a matter of indoctrination…
“Why Do Many Developers Consider Scrum to Be an Evil Scam?”
I’m hoping to keep this blog a positive zone, so I’m hoping this doesn’t go against that. However, if you, like me, think it is important to try have it so others can find joy at work and your company is using Scrum, then… “Why Do Many Developers Consider Scrum to Be an Evil Scam?”…
You Think You Exercise Hard?
Earlier this year I became a member of The Athlete District, and I just uploaded this video to have them check my form. (They are on vacation this week, so we have to do exercise at home.) This will give you an idea of just how intense the workouts are: (Cross-posted on my Nibbles Ninja…
Live at Peace
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. (Romans 12:18, ESV)
Thought for today: Act like it is those days
“Why We Love the Church”
A friend of mine (who is also a pastor in Florida), Steve Camp, posted six images of “Why We Love the Church.” I asked permission to repost them, and he said yes. So, here are the slides along with the Scripture references as a bonus. 🙂 (All Bible quotations from the English Standard Version.) Firstly,…
30 Days of Python
As I suggest in “And It Begins…,” you and I can do anything for 30 days. Although I’ve already missed a couple days (once because I forgot on a day I just couldn’t get a Mastodon server set-up…and once ’cause I was staying up late already making sure I didn’t fail again :-)), back on Saturday,…
“For I am sure…”
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:38-39 (ESV)
Scott Adams’ Happiness Formula
Although I would put this “happiness formula” first… But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33, NIV). …this one from Scott Adams (in How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big) seems pretty good: Recapping the happiness formula: Eat right….
