[ startin' with the man beyond the mirror. ]

   Bike rides are incredible times for good one-on-one conversations with God. Truly. [Especially along the Danish countryside around sundown in the summertime with a cool breeze.]

   With too much on my mind, I decided I needed to get out and think and get some things broken back down to the basics. The basics simply being God is what matters most and He's on my side.

   Riding through the countryside, firey sunset on the right, rows upon rows of wheat fields on either side -- things in my mind quickly lost their importance when brought in light of His creation.

   I mean, He really outdid Himself.

   So I'm riding along the winding road, talking to myself and to Him, and yes, looking like a complete fool, but I couldn't have cared less. At one point when I was talking about wanting to be in Heaven already so I dance pain-free and fly around in outer space and sit down and talk with Him, face to face, and ask questions and hear His heart and hear His story of me and His thoughts of me and what I did -- it hit me.
