Realization

So I have been thinking about what i am going to post today.. at first I was going to post my new personal record time up Lookout mountain, and then I was going to post some other stuff about biking.

For the first time in a long time (ok all summer) I went to church this morning. (I know. I know.) It is not that I don't cherish everything about going to church.. I just get caught up riding my bike.
Whatever.

So Michael (our pastor) spoke about our attitudes and humility.. here is the big take-away.

"We don't need to think less of ourselves.. we just need to think less about ourselves."

I think this is big for me. Have you ever put something/someone else ahead of God? Have you ever raced to a parking spot to beat out someone else? Making ourselves less to make HIM more. That is the challange I constantly face. How about you?

Catching some fresh air.

This weekend was Russ's birhday. I decided that for a birthday present I should take him skydiving. Now.. knowing 1) I am afraid of heights 2) I get motion sick really quick 3) I am peferctly same, I decided it was the perfect present. Here are some pictures. I would like to point out that even though I look really nervous in this picture and my heart was beating out of my chest and my legs were super shakey I had a smokin' good time. I reccommend this activity to anyone who does not have a heart condition. Come to Colorado for your birthday friends.. I will take you skydiving. or bike riding. or maybe we can just eat some cake.
