the adventures continue

i told my care group today that God has wired me to spiritually experience Him and the "abundant life" through adventures. i get bored with the day-to-day if at least once a week i'm not physically challenged, meet new people, or see and read a new thing. so this past saturday i decided to tackle the art of motorcycle driving. i was doing great for the first hour until going around a curve i tried to downshift and break at the same time (too much eye, hand and feet coordination at once), and i "layed the bike down" as my friend, jill, who was teaching me likes to say. in reality, i fell down and the bike layed on top of me. don't freak out, mom! you'll be happy to know that i got right back on it! :) it wasn't until later that i realized my hand was so swollen i couldn't even hold a pen. i don't know how i'm going to be the next Che Guevara if i wuss out over a bruised hand....
