2-6The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling,
a scrubby plant in a parched field.
There was nothing attractive about him,
nothing to cause us to take a second look.
He was looked down on and passed over,
a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand.
One look at him and people turned away.
We looked down on him, thought he was scum.
But the fact is, it was our pains he carried—
our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.
We thought he brought it on himself,
that God was punishing him for his own failures.
But it was our sins that did that to him,
that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins!
He took the punishment, and that made us whole.
Through his bruises we get healed.
We're all like sheep who've wandered off and gotten lost.
We've all done our own thing, gone our own way.
And God has piled all our sins, everything we've done wrong,
on him, on him. (Isaiah 53:3, The Message)

I'm alive. I am blessed. Life continues to throw the arrows of confusion and inconvenience at me, but with Faith I manage to get through. This is just an update to those who read me, and to myself to say I am sorry for my lack of dilligence on posting. Maybe I will get better and more consistent with that. Peace to you all.
Good things coming with Athletes for a Cure/Prostate Foundation for next season, but those who give the go ahead for me to disclose all the details have asked me to keep the lid on that for a month or so more. I will say get your bikes clean and decide to be part of something to help others next year, something achievable.
