Posted on March 31, 2016 by ehurst

Prayer Request: Mountain Bike

Posted on March 30, 2016 by ehurst

Posted on March 28, 2016 by ehurst

There’s a burden on my mind about church leadership. I’ll pick the occasion of Tullian Tchividjian’s professional meltdown for my opinionated screed. The linked story includes more detail than most accounts in the popular media. Let’s pretend it’s accurate, though … Continue reading →

Posted on March 27, 2016 by ehurst

On my second run at it, I took a clockwise route. Starting from home, I rolled west on Reno to the entrance of Eagle Lake. Once on the actual bike trail it runs along the North Canadian upstream toward the … Continue reading →
