Today we will complete 333 miles (hopefully), if we reach our destination of Missoula, MT. Last night was spent in the little town of Ovando, MT. Have you ever attempted something with an honorable reason that you later discovered was unwise, no matter how kind and good your motivation was? That's how I'm feeling about my choice to use my Dad's bike! It is old: over 30 years old, and it now has only 2 working gears and, worse of all, it's NOT a road bike! It is a mountain bike! So, I work twice as hard as I need to, to get from point A to point B. I watch my brother, Tom, coasting along on his recumbent bicycle up and down the miles and miles of mountains and valleys of Montana and oh, how I wish I could change the decision I made a few months back NOT to rent the same bike. I confess to envying his nice, cushy 'normal' seat. Why did I think it would be honorable to use my Dad's mountain bike for this trip?
If you feel like you're "spinning your wheels", be encouraged! Don't give up! God is with you and He will stick to His promises for you and your life. Maybe you've made a few poor choices but God and His Word don't change. He is completely dependable. I'm enjoying the ride, through it all, taking the time to lift my head and see the beauty all around.
More news tomorrow. (Thanks to my wife for posting these blogs while I'm so far out in the toolies that there is barely cell phone coverage). ~TTH
