Every once in a while I like to do a random post. I pick items that are usually unrelated and give you a piece of my mind life. I can’t give you a piece of my mind because I can ill afford to lose much. 🙂
Life has been sort of hectic around these parts lately. Ryan, our youth pastor, and his family were gone for a much-needed and much-deserved vacation. They were fostering two children (ages 1 & 3) for over a year and it was an emotional and taxing time for them. I’m glad they were able to get away.

As a result of them being gone, Ryan asked me to teach the Sunday evening ROOTS lesson. Now… understand: ROOTS is…are you ready for this?…Jr and Sr High youth. Yeah. It has been since 1982 or so since I stepped into a Jr/Sr High class to teach. But the kids are good kids and I had a good time. I’d say thanks to the young people but they don’t read this so it would be wasted. 🙂

It is funny (not haha funny) how I thought the hit and run incident in November would be over long before the bicycle wreck in February. For those who may not know, I was hit by a hit ‘n run driver as I rode my bike on November 7th. Other than a huge hematoma which developed and some definite soreness (and 7 weeks sleeping my chair and not the bed) I thought I was done. Nope. After landing stiff armed on the asphalt I now have shoulder issues. Where he hit me (missing my spine by 2 inches) and sending me though the air with “the greatest of ease” and landing on my hip, I now have hip issues which will be looked at next Monday. The good side is the collarbone and ribs seem to be healing well!! 🙂

I am leaving today for Pennsylvania to see my brother, Rob & his wife, Joy, and my dad (nursing home with dementia). We will be stopping off tonight to see a certain young man in Ohio (and his parents). I’d sure appreciate your prayers for Jo & I as we travel. I’ll be approving comments by my phone but not much else.
Thanks for reading my ramblings. Have a great rest of the week.
I’d say you’re lucky to be alive, but we know luck has nothing to do with it.
I just found out a friend of mine I went to high school with and used to work out with, got hit and killed by a driver a while back… he was in the bike lane…
Praying for you and Jo for safe travels.
Tell Rob his CD is still inside the deck of my truck.
Safe travels to you both! Thanks for your continued prayers, Bill.
Blessings!
And the hits just keep on coming, Bill! So sorry you are continuing to experience difficulties. Praying for you and for Jo. While the visit with your Dad sounds like a challenging one, it will be nice to spend time with family.
