You may have noticed that the title of this blog has gone from “crazy pastor on a bike” to “Pastor Dee’s blog”. Sounds kind of boring compared to the crazy pastor one😄 I enjoy writing about life, wisdom and insights gained, and just being creative communicating stories. I will work at being faithful to write something most days so those of you who take the time to read it I hope that you enjoy the experience.
I have lots to write about with 23 grandkids, fishing, hunting, pastoring, and the list goes on so hopefully I will be able to communicate stuff that will be helpful to you all in living life as well as being entertaining.
I spent a couple of hours working on my goals for next year today. I enjoy this discipline very much. I like to dream and imagine all the things that I can do and then put a few on paper in the form of goals.
My BHAG this year is to finish an official Ironman Triathlon which is swimming 2.4 miles, bicycling112 miles, and then running 26.2 miles, a marathon. I am committed to training 10 to 15 hours each week for the next year to accomplish this goal. A major reason that I have gone kind of nuttso on these physical goals is to keep my Parkinson’s at bay, plus the challenge keeps me alive and full of energy and passion for life and ministry.
i will write quite a bit about the pursuit of this goal as I believe it is going to be as tough to accomplish as the bicycle ride to the Atlantic Ocean was, and I like to write about challenge and endurance and accomplishment.
love you all. Dee

We just want to read whatever you write. You write about events of the day, hopes/plans for tomorrow (God willing!), thoughts/ideas/feelings/fears. It is like being with you. At your feet. What a privilege! Your goal(s) is/are different now. We will read what you write each day, and pray for you accordingly: Your request(s), His Will — it doesn’t get any more simple than that. Except we don’t want simple — we want to strive WITH you for the BHAG’s you set for yourself. We (all of US) are WITH you!
