I attended a one day men's retreat this weekend hosted by Life Impact called "Boot Camp". A good time was had by all, football, basketball, skeet shooting, rifle and pistol shooting, archery, canoeing, climbing wall, hiking...there was something for everyone. A few men went home limping from contact in the football and from rolling an ankle from running down a hill, but everyone survived. I was fortunate to meet "Big Daddy" Greg Dean who is a member of the Knights of Pentecost Motorcycle Ministry . I was quite impressed by what the Knights of Pentecost are doing and how they go about walking out the talk.

The World's Fastest Indian is the story of New Zealand's Burt Munro and his 1962 attempt at a world record on a 1920 Indian Motorcycle at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Arriving in the U.S. with a shoe string budget and sleeping in a car, Munro sat a land speed record of 178.971 mph with a 850cc Indian V-twin. This is an endearing movie that even non-motorcycle enthusiast will enjoy. My family says it is a MUST SEE. This movie is now available for rental and the DVD goes on sale in June. You owe it to yourself to see it. I'm going to have to add it to my collection.

I spent last weekend racking up 32 hours in overtime and worked until I just felt like I couldn't move this past week. I REALLY needed a chance to depcompress. Can you say Bike Ride? Sure you can. I kinda like the way your face gets all scrunched up when you say that! This morning after my discipleship group meeting concluded I hit the highway. It was a little chilly and was drizzling. By the time I hit the southside of Atlanta the drizzle had stopped and the sun was trying to peek out. A few hours later I was riding thru southwest Georgia - the area where I grew up. One of my favorite road side sights is Parrott, Georgia. Yes, there really is a town named Parrott in Georgia. Several years ago they did a refresh of the little train depot the town had making it the town's welcome center. The small downtown is gorgeous and full of small shops. In all the years I have rode thru Parrot on the highway, I have always commented on the appeal of the town's appearance. But as of ye...
