We are always traveling, whether in our faith, in our relationships, in our wisdom and knowledge, or on the road.

A New Bike

Is a buying a new bike really that big of a decision? Should I get a crossover bike? A mountain bike? Road bike? Racing? Triathlon? Cyclecross? And what about the gear? Pumps? Tires? Shocks? Gloves? Glasses? Helmet? Well, the last one is easy, but as all decisions are, I am taking this one too seriously. Does it really matter what I choose to buy? What is the purpose in the first place? It should really come down to use. I should pick the bicycle that gives me the best use, for the best price. A balance. So also should I choose what I do with my life, except instead of for me, it is for God. If the reason for life is to glorify God, than the reason for all decisions should be to glorify also. Unfortunately this doesn't always happen, but we can try our best, and when the day ends, we can say "I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." Does my life matter, or does the bike matter, unless they are put aside for God?
