My favorite sporting event just wrapped up, the Tour de France. Being an avid biker I love watching the pros ride across France, Spain , Italy, the Alps and other mountain tops. This year I learned not everyone thinks it's the greatest sports event in the world, guess you have to pedal a lot to appreciate the effort. Lance came back, finished third, actually impressive since he's 37 and the winner is 24, great to see him back. He also provided this years most quotable moment for me. Asked what he plans to do now, Lance replied "I'm going on vacation." I love Lance and what he means to cancer patients everywhere, but I need to point something out here. Lance, you just spent three weeks touring France and staying at the finest hotels with your own personal chef, that sounds like a vacation to me.
I ride the Drumlin bike trail often. I've seen deer, fox, roosters, cats, dogs, all kinds of animals on the trail. Why is it of all the animals I see, only the chipmunks want to play chicken? Why are they so aggressive this year? They literally sit in the center of the trail daring you to hit them, I have not hit any yet, but I've come to close to hitting a tree because I swerved. From this point on, any chipmunk that wants to play chicken, game on. All I know is I never see skid marks in front of squished chipmunks.
Last random thought, I work with some great witty pranksters. Just last week while I was alone in the auditorium, so I thought, a couple of the jokesters sneaked up on me and blasted an air horn 15 feet from my ears. I jumped high and far, almost had to go home and change my shorts if you know what I mean. This morning, and this is still killing me, they poured salt in my unattended h2o bottle, oh what will they think of next? Nothing like good old pie in the face humor. I just wish I was that clever, maybe I can get them to fall for the old "hey your shoes untied" joke. I'll follow up and let you know how that turns out. Man, I wonder what I could do if one of them left town for ten days???

I was witness to what happened with the airhorn. I have never seen anyone jump as high as I witnessed with John that day. If it were an Olympic event he would have won the gold.
But overall the most amazing thing about the whole event was the 10 seconds after the airhorn went off, John was trying with all his effort to say something, anything at all! And in that moment I believe God stepped in and began to filter and censor every word that wanted to come out, but would have caused him to sin.
