Can We Pedal Our Way Into Heaven ?

That was one of the questions Judy Bowman from WHEEL POWER Christian Cyclists presented to us. The day before Mothers Day, we had a great get-together on that beautiful Saturday in May. The temps just climbed into the high 80's, the best time for a BBQ. Even though that was a blessing in itself, praises be to our Heavenly Father, we had an even greater blessing because of the visit from Judy Bowman. Judy has an incredible gift and blessing from God to spread the good news though her cycling mistry. So can we pedal our way into heaven?

Of course not! And Judy made that very clear. The Bible says:

"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Eph 2:8

She challenged us to share the Good News and to be a witness for Christ, as Christ instructed his disciples in Acts 1:9 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth". So what do witnesses do? Simple, they don't judge, they don't prosecute, they just tell the truth of what happened to them. Are you ready? What happened to you when Jesus got a hold of you?

Be encouraged, if Jesus if for us, who can be against us?!?

Updated Post: Mt. Lemmon Climb

Our Mt. Lemmon Climb with members from the FCA-E Phoenix Huddle was a success. Many thanks to the organizers and support vehicles for an outstanding day on the roads of Mt. Lemmon.

Praises be to our Heavenly Father !!!

We were not the only once escaping the HEAT of Tucson and Phoenix. We saw many individual riders as well as other teams that were using Mt. Lemmon as an elevation training. That gave us and the support team plenty of opportunity to be a witness for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

There were about 30 riders with all kinds of fitness and skill levels. That was more than we anticipated. But we were well prepared with 4 sag stops and 5 sag vehicles. Each sag stop had more goodies than the next. All riders had a great time and some of them were looking forward to our next training climb up Mt. Lemmon. Check out some of the picture we took.

Mt. Lemmon Climb

We are looking forward to climb to the top of Mt. Lemmon on Aug. 14 with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Endurance (FCA-E).

When: Aug. 14 starting at 6:00am
Where: 9121 East Tanque Verde Road, Tucson, AZ 85749
Meeting at Le Buzz coffee shop near Safeway

I hope you can join us to this wonderful climb. It's going to be an escape from the heat. We will be enjoying riding through the pine forest. It's gonna be quite a transformation from the desert floor. If you have never done this, you should. We will have sag support along the way, so don't be intimidated and ride as far as you can.

"I will extol You, my God, O King;
And I will bless Your name forever and ever.
Every day I will bless You,
And I will praise Your name forever and ever.
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;
And His greatness is unsearchable."
Psalm 145
