My body is sore!

I've been talking about doing some bike riding for a few weeks now, so today, I finally went out and hit the biking trails at the San Angelo State Park with a friend. It was very invigorating, but it sure was hard for a novice like me! Some of the trails were smooth and easy, but others were filled with lots of rocks, and not so easy. Going up hill on the rocky trials was the hardest. I actually had to walk some of those uphill trails. The scariest part for me was being on a rocky trail that had lots of cactus on both sides. One little mistake and I would have been in a heap of trouble! Ouch!
I did take one spill but it wasn't too bad...just a couple of minor scrapes. The interesting thing is how I'm going to feel in the morning!

All things considered, I'd like to go out and try it again. It might be something I'll start doing regularly. Or I could just stick to riding on the roads!

My sister-in-law, Sandy, and her six-year-old daughter, Araceli, were in a room across the hall. I hardly slept that night. I would doze off and suddenly wake up to my father crying and calling out my brother’s name.  My brother was dead. Osiel had collapsed that morning while his h...

Try not to laugh too hard

So we finally gave in and bought a Wii. It turns out that it's a lot of fun. Unfortunately, my kids were having fun at my expense. I was trying out the boxing and had no idea Bethany was video taping me. The jerky movement at the end of the clip is Bethany shaking because she was laughing so hard.

Happy Anniversary!

Today is the one-year anniversary of the beginning of this blog. I started blogging on June 9, 2007 with this post . One year later, I'm still enjoying blogging about what's going on at Solid Rock Church, and linking to other interesting blogs and articles, as well as blogging about some of my thoughts and reflections related to Solid Rock and the church world in general. I know I have a few readers out there, so as long as there are three of you reading this blog, I guess I'll keep it going. And remember, comments are always welcomed!
