Just got in from my final ride before I start Saturday. Rode 34 miles. The city of Russellville is named after the a Russell family. The patriarch is buried in a cemetary I passed this morning. It is at the base of a two mile climb I did. As I passed my heart sunk thinking on Saturday I am going to do 2-5 mile climbs all day, one after another. I had temporary thoughts of insanity.
But then I thought about why I am doing this and pressed on. For Steve Adams. For mission work all over the world. Funny how since I started riding and challenging myself physically on the bike, I have felt better than I had in many, many years. Ready for a spiritual application. When we challenge ourself spiritually, get out of the box, take adventurous steps of faith, desire growth, then we don't feel better, that is a physical phenomenom, but we are closer to the heart of God. And you may feel better as a bonus. Our desire should be to be at one with God's heart.
I feel good. I'm ready. Day one is hard. Strength. Stamina. Safety. I start in about 68.5 hours. I've almost raised the money. Pray.
