Biking is Hazardous

So here is my head after a little jump i missed on my bike. Other than a couple days of oozing I healed pretty quick.

Published!!!

I was very excited today to find my travel advice had been published in Outpost magazine Sept/Oct edition. It's very fun to be published...but i can't wait for the MEC giftcard.

Are you Kid Travel Ready?

""Sometimes travel with children is an overwhelming adventure for the parents. A fool proof way to make parents battle ready is the Mall Simulation Adventure. Take your kids to the mall for a shopping adventure because there is nothing like lineups, crowds, and waiting to simulate airport travel. To increase the difficulty do it over nap time. This is guaranteed to help parents problem solve, and hone their ability to distract. It is also a great way to help kids go beyond their normal limits."

Hmm should i come back?

Well it has been a long lay off. Filled with baby preparations, broken down computers, and lots of meetings. I've been asking the age ol' question.....should I keep the blog going?



Well, if i don't let's go out with a bang.



Consider your margins.....ARE YOU LIVING?



ARE YOU SURE?





I recently challenged some folks in a pilgrimage seminar whether their life margins had actually ordered out, squeezed out, compartmentalized GOD-our creator and the author of fun, or whether we had merely given up on living. Cause sometimes i wonder if God is sitting up in heaven wondering, 'I created so much fun stuff, and amazing things...when are they going to try them, discover them, open their eyes and see them??'



THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO, to TRY.....get busy. here is some incentive.




LIVE an adventure.

I have ONE life to live....

Okay now here is a great organization. Adventure Junkies beware, all your playing around on a skateboard, fishing, cycling, kayaking could actually give purpose to your life. Here is an organization that takes adventure travel and uses your brawn, and adrenaline to raise money for charity.

I love that they have an online community that helps people join in, and share their story. This is the very heart of pilgrimage. Becoming Human! Creating avenues for anyone to join in the mystery of life through journeys.

One blogger quotes Jimmy Carter saying.....

"have one life and one chance to make it count for something . . . I'm free to choose what that something is, and the something I've chosen is my faith. Now, my faith goes beyond theology and religion and requires considerable work and effort. My faith demands -- this is not optional -- my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.- Jimmy Carter

So, what are you planning....how do you want to impact the world.....JOIN IN! Last summer one of my favorite authors Donald Miller took the challenge to raise money for drinking water. He biked across the US to do it. read about it here...

Ventures motto is "Benefit the world....Discover your soul."

So....if you had one life to live, seemingly no extraordinary gifts to offer world poverty, just a bike, and a love of riding.....what would you do? How could you change the world.....


Awesome
