I forgot how liberating the trails can be. Anyone have any suggestions for a good bike? Biking 2007-12-11T18:32:00-06:00 http://www.abeaugh.com/index.php/site/purpose-and-passion/ http://www.abeaugh.com/index.php/site/purpose-and-passion/#When:04:29:00Z i was reading through an old book that I bought back in late 2005… A piece of paper fell out when I opened it.  It was an excerpt that I had printed out of Kyle Lake’s last sermon that he never got to preach on… I hope to live my life with purpose and passion such as this… Live. And Live Well. BREATHE. Breathe in and Breathe deeply. Be PRESENT. Do not be past. Do not be future. Be now. On a crystal clear, breezy 70 degree day, roll down the windows and FEEL the wind against your skin. Feel the warmth of the sun. If you run, then allow those first few breaths on a cool Autumn day to FREEZE your lungs and do not just be alarmed, be ALIVE. Get knee-deep in a novel and LOSE track of time. If you bike, pedal HARD… and if you crash then crash well. Feel the SATISFACTION of a job well done—a paper well-written, a project thoroughly completed, a play well-performed. If you must wipe the snot from your 3-year old’s nose, don’t be disgusted if the Kleenex didn’t catch it all… because soon he’ll be wiping his own. If you’ve recently experienced loss, then GRIEVE. And Grieve well. At the table with friends and family, LAUGH. If you’re eating and laughing at the same time, then might as well laugh until you puke. And if you eat, then SMELL. The aromas are not impediments to your day. Steak on the grill, coffee beans freshly ground, cookies in the oven. And TASTE. Taste every ounce of flavor. Taste every ounce of friendship. Taste every ounce of Life. Because-it-is-most-definitely-a-Gift. http://www.ubcwaco.org/2004/sermonexcerpt.html Faith 2007-11-14T04:29:00-06:00
