Still waiting for the Real Spring

The picture from my last post in February would be a bit of an exaggeration for today, though we have had snow the last couple of days (again, still?). But the flowers are starting to peek up just a bit, so we know it's coming.

Spring & Summer and beyond this year look like they will be busy with more times off work than in most years.

This Saturday we have a one-day retreat/program near Syracuse where the Commission on the Global Church will be putting on the program. We will be talking about how our church got to be named as a Global Mission Church. There are other presentations from others as well. We expect it to be a full day -- starting with leaving here around 5:30 to get to Syracuse by 8:30.

Starting early -- Kim has invited us to go on a week-long bike adventure. It's along the C&O Canal & should be very pretty in late September. The starting early part is that we need to start training for it. So, the weather being what it is & my bike still hibernating in the garage, I rode the Exercycle for a half hour and covered 6.6 miles. It's a start. I need to do more & do it on the bike & on the roads, but it's a start.
