Random Anecdotes

So, the other day I was riding my bike to one of my jobs and was intrigued to see that the rich peoples' ponds had a layer of ice on the top of them because it was only about 22 degrees outside. The interesting part was the fact that a nutrea, which one rarely sees during the day, was trying to swim across the frozen part of the pond instead of crossing where the ducks were, which is where the fountain was running and had no ice). This is another example of why nutrea are stupid.

I have one more story about stupid nutrea. It starts with me riding my bike to Mid-School group on a wednesday night, so it was dark. I saw four nutrea hangin out just off to my right in the grass and thought, "oh, they're far enough away that I can go by slowly and they'll just hang out." Of course it can't be that simple...As I ride by the nutrea, all four of them start to run acros my path to the left of me. Thankfully only two were stupid enough to try to run in front of me and I actually almost ran over them. How can a person on a bike almost run over a live animal? I know I can't actually go that fast on my bike!

I was thinking the other night as I went for a run as I was watching the sun set and the gorgeous sky as a result that sunsets and sunrises are like Gods way of saying goodmorning and goodnight to us each day. His special little treat that just between Him and us. What a cool gift and how special of God to make a new and unique sunrise and sunset every day for us.

I saw a guy on the bus the other week that was reading his bible and as he and another guy got off the bus the other guy asked him what book he was in and I just thought that was so cool. I can't quite explain why, but I just did.

I was walking to church this last sunday along coburg and there were a million cars passing me in both directions and I knew that 99% of them were going to or coming from First B. And it was hilarious how some of the people would stare at me as they went by. I know it's because in that part of town it's very odd to see people walking and I don't look like a hobo (at least not that i am aware of), so, it seems that people are taken aback. A couple people at church told me they saw me and one said she was trying to figure out how to turn around and come pick me up and I was flattered.

For those of you that might see me someday riding my bike or walking. I like it, for the most part, so don't feel obligated to help me out. Although, if I look extremely tired, hurt, or it's incredibly cold, dark or pouring buckets of rain out; I wouldn't mind if you stopp and ask if I need any help. But, otherwise, I like walking and riding my bike and am very thankful that I am able to do so and appreciate the exercise it gives me.
