I just finished my morning ride on the Trek I recently acquired. It isn't running, but is the closest, best thing to the CV I can get to running. I miss running, but enjoy the speed and mechanics of being on the bike.
Mosques across the country are beginning to use a model similar to the one used by some suburban and downtown megachurches, operating multiple sites to serve a large and dispersed congregation.RNS Feature: "Muslims begin to copy the megachurch multi-site model"
I picked up a used Trek touring bike at Scooters bikes today and it's just what I need. I'm really out of shape, not being able to run anymore (bad sacroiliac joint) and my daily walks temporarily ended with plantar fascitis. So now I am biking. It's been several years since I've done any real exercise on a bike, but I look forward to getting into it. The bike is about 20 years old but in great shape.
I'm preaching on Acts 8:26-35--the story about Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch-- this Sunday in our Crossings service. The thrust of the sermon will be about how we (church) can be a witness of Jesus in our world today--with the need to help people understand Jesus in a post-church world. I'm working on the sermon again today and trying to get inside the text a bit more. I can't help but think of the eunuchs in History of the World, Part 2.
