Firsts...

This week marks my first 2 off road bike rides of the year...today is the first bruise/bump of the season...last night, Brady learned to ride his bike without training wheels -- another first. Snookies opened in Beaverdale last weekend, marking the first Snookie's ice cream of the season. Firsts are an amazing thing...

Something even more amazing to me -- I routinely read the gospels as part of my devotional time. I happens each time I read through them that I come across a passage that I swear I have not seen before, or do not remember reading...like I am reading it for the first time. Often those passages are noteworthy for a while, and fade when I uncover yet another "first". Funny how a book I have read time and time again continues to be new...like it is being read for the first time.
