Some changes are afoot in our life lately, more specifically with my side of our marriage, and I’m not one to count chicken’s before they hatch, but am excited by the possibilities. I’ll divulge more on the matter in future posts. I’d appreciate your prayers over the matter, despite your limited knowledge at this point (unless you’ve talked to me personally lately). It’s been slightly stressy, but ultimately finding complete comfort in God’s amazing grace.
Rode King of the Mountain with some friends last Saturday. Still feeling it. Tomorrow morning I’ll hit some local trails here in Durango with a friend who just happens to be an account of mine. Good stuff in store, as I’m sure the area has all sorts of hidden gems.
Pictures to follow.

I’ve posted a pretty huge attack-plan for this Saturday on the Sundoxazo Ciclismo blog that is a “sister-ship” to this one. If you ride and are up for a Mtn ride at the Ski area, HERE is the link to check it out.
James has been a really great series of lessons. I’m still not concrete on how to upload them here beyond cut/paste (and that would be huge), so if you want the lesson plans I’d be glad to email them to you as an attachment. Just comment/reply and I’ll follow-up with you directly.

I had hoped to not be so slack with posting like this again, aiming for once a week (at least). A bunch of amazing and not so amazing stuff has happened since I last posted, and if I could list it all I would.
Work is busy, been flying down to El Paso to serve that sub-territory for the last 8 weeks. Now in Albq. to serve the locals. Next sub I’ll hit is probably my northern for one trip to check in, then hit the Eastern-most section like I did in El Paso.
Riding is huge focus lately, as my other blog will testify.Here is it’s site for you if you’re curious. I’ve decided to list the rides I’ve organized and or done there in posts so they can be main focus. Eventual I’ll have some pics both there and here to support the textual.
One point I’ll leave you with that I’ve been teaching/dealing with for the last few weeks: excellence vs. obedience. Unlike religion that is man’s attempt to reach God via different “rules” or “quotas” of “works” where there is differing levels of “greatness”, God calls us to Holiness and that requires something far different from various shades of gray. God has shown His love for us by the atoning sacrificial work of Jesus, and because of that we should mind his commandments because of that. There are no shades of gray in Obedience, and that is what He desires of us, no compromise or % of excellence. More later maybe, depends on comments kinda as I know most of you readers are familiar with this idea (or at least I hope so).
God Bless~
