Fell way off the Wagon

    Yeah did not expect to fall of the wagon and have it break all around me.. ha ha. i guess it really is not that bad right? ha ha.. nothing broke, all my equipment still works, just for one reason or another... didn't kick in...
    thankfully i have really good friends and a son who likes to just cry in the early morning hours help me out.. God does work in mysterious ways for sure... thankfully...   i pray i have not let anyone down buy not doing anything... but hey.. it's a new day.. i broke in my day with 23 mile ride this morning... 1hr 40 min... that comes with a new record to on the old avalanche 3.0 GT mountain bike.. 14mph average time.. could not believe that happen after being off for a whole month... felt good... i forgot my energy at the house thought.. got to the turn around and realize I left my honey & Peanut-butter sitting in the staging room... man was i starving by the time i got home.. ha ha...  then i had this crazy idea while i was out peddling and praying through things.. and that thought at random lead me to this post i found this morning online http://www.patheos.com/blogs/nadiabolzweber/2012/04/church-and-crossfit-and-what-they-have-in-common/
          Great post by someone else working out... i encourage you to take 10 min to read it.. really hit home for me.. Thanks God for helping me find that..
           next is Thanks David.. one of our church members spotted me on the road this morning (i was wear my blue tooth head seat it's a double ear phone device by Plantronics) and called me, "hey you that crazy cycling guy on the road this morning..." as i remember a truck with horn blaring going by ha ha...., "why yes that is me David"...., "be careful don't get run over and keep it up"...   it was great to hear.  it's amazing the things that transpire when you push yourself. God seams to help take it to a next step you never could have taken it to.
          hey hang in there... don't give up... and keep up the good work... even if you have been down for a month maybe even a year. getting up to do what you started to do.... it makes a difference, not only in your life but the lives of the people God allows you to impact around you... So let do it, lets get going again.. we can do this..  Get up, Get out, & Get going!!
See you on the road!

From Fat-Man to Ironman!

Today I am 6'2" and I weight 287lbs. Thanks to one of my Best friends (Sam), a little old school rivalry between the two of us, his sister Hannah and her running the Cozumel ironman this weekend..... we have taken off the gloves and thrown down to run a ironman in a year, and if God willing the Cozumel Ironman this time next year. this is where i plan on sharing how God uses this to impact me with this burning desire to do this, and my physical desire to rebel against this. I have some Good friends that will encourage me along the way i am sure, but most of all i have a Great wife who believes in me. I know that an ironman can be consuming, but i am going to strive to balance my work, family life, and preparation for this the best i can while including my family into it as well... I am hyper and a ball of energy and really looking forward to this.. Scotty

ha ha wow

Hey it's a baboon, yes one of the many photos i took while i was in Africa.
I can not begin to explain all that goes on around me on a daily basis. My prayer has just become Lord let me accomplish the things you want me to do for the day, not the urgent, not the unimportant, but exactly the things you want me to do. Is it to stop and listen, is it to go and do, is it to turn around and go back, is it to press on and accomplish.
There are always choice that you have to make every day, moment by moment, i just pray that the choice you make today are the ones that our God has led you to make. Nothing more, nothing less, but just in His will.
my 2009 has started off incredible, Our newest son is a month old now, I was ordained by my church with a special friend that led out in a challenge for me, a great friend who God has opened the door to me who led an awesome charge to our church, I had the opportunity to Go to Africa shortly after and see our water wells, and new sites to drill. Had the opportunity to come along our brothers in Africa and encourage them in their pastoring and strengthen them.
An now back home to a full plate... and Thank God for the full plate.. i love it.
so to all of you who continue to allow God to use you to bless others, thank you for the blessing you have passed on to me as well.
Thank You God, thank you to my Family, and thank you to my friends.
