Reboot.

So, I've finally gotten back to Minnesota from Fort Rucker, AL, and I've started working on the 72 Yamaha again. I think its destined to become a bobber at this point. The more I tear into it, the more I find wrong with it, so I think a frame off custom project is about the only thing left.
I found a company that makes hardtails for this frame type, they will even weld it all together for a reasonable price, although I think I might try to find some local talent to take on the challenge instead. We shall see.
Hopefully it will be ready to go by next years riding season!

Guidance

"The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."
Brennan Manning


I was recently asked by a friend of mine how she could have a relationship with God. The words to tell her came easily to mind, I knew what I should say, and what to write.

It made me feel incredibly guilty.

For everything I would write to her, all the things that go along with a relationship with Christ, they were all things I wasn't even doing myself. Its a terrible feeling, to be in a position to help someone find the Lord, only to have them look at your own life, how you act, and wonder why there seems to be a double standard. There, of course, isn't one. Just hypocrisy. As it was written...

If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 1 John 1:6


I pray the words I wrote to her, will strike a cord in her heart, and God will give her sight to look past my life, and lead her to walk with Him. And I will continue to strive to live up to the standards put before me.


But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:7
