Miles for Missions and mid life / 12.07.09, 10:12 AM
I turn 45 on December 16th and I have been thinking of a good way to celebrate my birthday and to keep from feeling old. I have come up with just the plan. I will be riding a bike from one mission year city to another. No worries, our Married couples are serving in Lagrange, Georgia. It is 65 miles away. I will be doing this for a couple of reasons. One probably has to do with mid life crisis and the other is to raise some resource for our ministry. So I am asking people to sponsor 1 dollar a mile that is 65 dollars to see me suffer and support mission year at the same time.
The date is December 16th 2009. We will get started at 9am. The ride should take about 6 hours but no commitments there.
Keep track of our progress and training by following this blog.
Bikes will be sponsored by Beltline Bikeshop

Following my own investigation, thousands of people on our planet get the loan at well known banks. Thence, there’s a good possibility to receive a short term loan in every country.
