How to Stay Safe when You Ride a Bicycle Author: Cameron Rachev The cost of transportation is increasing due to skyrocketing gas prices. The situation forces more and more people to find ways how to save money on gas and transportation costs. If you are looking for an alternative mode of transport, then the best that you can do is to buy a bicycle (or as the Danes say Køb cykler). Riding a bike is the simplest way to save money. A bicycle does not require gas. As long as you have leg power, then you can go from point

Selecting the Best Beginner Bicycle Author: Rob Many people who start thinking about getting into cycling wonder “what is the best beginner bicycle for me?” I went over twenty years without riding a bicycle, and then when I started shopping for a bike I was overwhelmed with all of the different types and prices of bikes to choose from. At the time, I mainly wanted to find a good bike for a reasonable price, that would be good for some exercise and riding bikes with kids. It’s now been about two years, and after really getting into cycling and riding

Patience and Faith So I’m writing this as both testimony and advice. My words are, “Really stay focused on God and not of the idols, false gods and ‘things’ of this world.” You see us believers that are out there trying to do as much for God as we can, need to never forget that his timing is completely different from ours. We need to continue on our missions, but do not pile on conditions or timelines that will produce stress or anxiety on us as God never wants that; When you do often you open the door to the

Making Time to Workout Author: Rennie Scott MAKING TIME TO WORK OUT How many times have you ever said, “I just don’t have the time to work out.”I use to say that and not only did I feel I didn’t have the time, I also felt like I didn’t have the energy. My commute back and forth to work puts me on the road three hours. By the time I get home, it’ s time to eat dinner, clean up the kitchen, prepare my child’s lunch for the next day and do whatever else needs my attention. Sound familiar? Then

In memory of an angel Grandma Putsy I knew Grandma Putsy for 14 years and I must say to you that you were truly an angel God brought into my life, even though I didn’t see it at the time. I must admit that the feeling I had when I was around you was that of true peace and unconditional selfless love. You were always there for me and my family when times were rough to lend a hand, and as I write these words I want you to know that everything you did for us has continued to this

As I’ve mentioned in my past blogs, I’ve been doing my best to be walking and living in Faith and for this blog, I want to continue with more on that, as a human, faith is always a constant struggle with all the forces in life being thrown at you. I can truly say faith is the only way and what God wants in every one of our hearts. In our lives we tend to think we can do better or perhaps we are trying to show God “Hey I have a better way” and all I can say through
