Survive the Road

I am amazed I rode again today. My butt was seriously bruised after yesterday.

I rode for just less than an hour and went much further. The heat is so intense that sweat was pouring down from my forehead.

I also should add I've been playing this ludicrously tough and addictive game online:

It's based on the movie and Pulitzer prize-winning novel of the same name written by Cormac McCarthy. Ever since watching 'No Country For Old Men' and reading 'The Road' I've become something of an amateur fan.

So for Christmas in Ballito I've bought myself 'The Border Trilogy' consisting of 'All the Pretty Horses', 'The Crossing' and 'Cities of the Plain.'

I've also asked one of my Father Christmases to get me 'Blood Meridian' which is apparently his masterpiece.

Around Africa On My Bicycle

Yesterday I managed a 40 minute cycle and nearly died. Today there is still a little pain in the netherlands.

It would be great to just stick to it everyday and save myself a lot of frustration and becoming unfit and generally unpleasant.

I still have this lingering dream to cycle around Africa or some epic journey on a bicycle. I should probably read this:

I also have a dream to give each person in Africa a free Bible with my ministry 'Bibles For Africa.'

Perhaps these two can be combined?

Guess who's back?

Okay, I realise this is long overdue....

I have no excuses.

But the reason I am back in blogworld is because I watched the awesome 'Julie and Julia' - or is it the other way round? It is based on a blog and two books.

In fact, it is the very first movie to be based on a blog.

So, I thought, maybe there's something to this and I will try to be a regular blogger from this day onwards.

I will keep track of my cycling and this way the world out there can watch me either develop or atrophy into nothingness.

Also, I want to keep all my readers informed about my ministry 'Bibles For Africa' which seeks to provide a free Bible to every person on this continent.

I'm sure other things will come up along the way, but this is a way to start with a 'goal' in mind (just like the movie).

Death Commutes

This is a short story I wrote about cycling.

It is all true.

Shema continued

Jesus stated that the requirements of the First Great Commandment (not the first Commandment in the Decalogue) was to be fulfilled if we are to 'love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength.

Why does Jesus use the term 'all' separately in connection to each of these (heart, soul, mind, strength)?

Are these 4 (heart, soul, mind, strength) an absolute list or not? If not, why not?
