Really Josh, brillant! If u do it, plz let us know. On another note, Donna and I had a great ride of 65 miles, lots of hills including connor. We also rescued 2 turtle babies and were chased by two hot dog dogs, I had to laugh!

Although, I thought about driving by his house and putting a six pack of PBR in his mailbox with a note reading, "from you cycling minister friend." Maybe that would keep him off our backs for a while. Rev. Joshua M.K. Goocey Senior Minister First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) 207 Tarboro St. N.

We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
