9,000 Miles
I’ve now come to the point where I’ve put almost 9,000 miles on one or the other of the motorcycles I’ve had. What’s interesting is that, up until very recently, I couldn’t see myself ever becoming as comfortable riding a motorcycle as I do now.In fact, I’ve put so many more miles of motorcycle driving in over the past couple of years than I have car driving that I actually feel more comfortable riding a motorcycle than driving a car. I mean comfortable not in the “creature comforts” sense there’s nothing comfortable about sitting at a stop light on a motorcycle in 108? temperatures but in the sense of confidence. While I still have a way to go (I still find it difficult to turn sharply at very low speeds), I am actually having fun riding now.There is one little problem though: the horn. It would be nice if people could actually hear me when I honk at them because they are changing lanes into my lane. I need to take the bike in for an oil change soon, so maybe I’ll have them add the 106db air horns I’ve had my eye on while the bike’s in the shop.

Meditations on John 3
Most of you probably know by now that I am a firm believer that the Doctrines of Grace as expressed by the five points of what is commonly called Calvinism are thoroughly biblical, and that any interpretation of the Gospel that denies these truths does serious damage to the Gospel. I recently started reading through John, and today I got to John 3.
Proverbs and Raising Children
Adina and I can’t pretend to be good parents, since we don’t have any experience as such, but we have lately been discussing a problem that appears to be quite common in the circles we’ve spent most of our lives in (and maybe where we are now, too, but we haven’t had much experience yet).
