After 3 1/2 years of full-time devotion to racing road bikes I have decided to call it the end of the rope...well for now at least. It has been a wonderful journey and I have accomplished goals higher than my imagination while following the values of my heart to the best of my abilities. I am so thankful to have a wife who has stood by my side to allow me to discover where I could go. But for now we will move on and look forward to where the Lord wants to take us.
Go to Boggsministry.com and click on "Human Sparkler". They had me running around with wings lined up and down of fireworks. It was such a thrill!
There was only a little damage done, a few burn marks on the back and a few holes in my shirt. But the kids really enjoyed the whole event of the evening!
Some were a little over roasted, but still not bad for the first try.
Nat says it tastes better than some of the local stuff we have been buying!

The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. This is Anita, the cook and housekeeper. She is a blessing to those children in so many ways, especially with her sweet smile!
