Friday and Saturday were great days to reengage with old friends. I stayed with Ryan Likes, friend from JBU, and we had dinner with the Starr family - Desi and Rose and kids. What struck me about them and their home was the presence of life and vivacity among them. It was so overwhelming (in a great way) and full of love. So great to see the dynamic of their family!
I later had some great chats with Ryan, his housemates, and other friends, talking a lot about life experiences, deep conversations full of the richness and gravity of life, and all that is encompassed by real living. A very refreshing several days in Denver, and I biked away on Sunday, after biking for a ways with Chris (compadre at the Cheesecake factory), and I wondered what I was supposed to take away from that. "God, what was that, the whole experience in Denver, all about?" I don't think it was an accident, but I don't have an answer, either. Vamos a ver.....
hey mang,
ReplyDeletewe like you too.
glad to have you hang with us a bit.
you are welcome any time.
may God speak to you how much He loves you everyday as you ride, as you breathe deeply of His love moment by moment. may you experience Him with each pedal you take, with each mile that you go. with each person you meet on the road may you see Jesus in strangers and friends alike.
ask Him what he has to show you and may you "get" this whole abiding in Jesus thing more and more each day just like all the rest of us need and hope to grow in.
any time you want to experience a noisy family, come on down to denver.
praying for you,
desi
