Life with The Swell Guy!

Tuesday 5/5

Buy

1. The crisp days of early fall and the last golden moments of summer
2. Steelers and Da Bears (or you can insert your choice of team here)
3. The book Slow Church:Cultivating Community in the Patient Way of Jesus 
4. More often taking time to have better conversations
5. Lighting the firepit

Sell

1. Men behaving badly towards women and children. It is not OK to use your mouth or your fist to bully or cause harm
2. People of faith believing we are God's Nation and it is his will to spend trillions proving that point with a war machine
3. Not loving, much less not treating with dignity and respect people not like us
4. Stuff we do not really need
5. Giving up too easy...on your team, on relationships, on matters of the heart, on anything important

That's it. Have a nice day.

It's Jens

Jens Voigt has long been one of the most enteraining riders in the pro cycling peleton. He is the kind of guy us regular cyclists love. Yesterday he broke the World One Hour Record, one of the most legendary feats in cycling. Basically the rider goes alone to see how far they can ride on a track in a single hour.

He got off the bike and then retired from cycling for good. Perfect Jens. Here are a few things he leaves us fans.

- Report on Jens breaking the Hour Record

- Because we love what he says...enjoy The Jens Voigt Soundboard

and here is the video of the record. The commentary is great.

 

Shut up Legs! And thank you, Jens.

Late Summer on Lake Greenwood

Teens practicing country line dancing on the dock at Moon Landing. Seems about right.

It's Friday. You need a soul pancake!

 

It's good to be the Papi.

First grand baby, Araya, arrived over the weekend. Words can not capture how happy we are for Bethany & Rafael and the awesomeness of it all.
