OK - so I have been a little behind on posting. The only reason I have the blog is to post on Facebook - and given that there are other methods to post to Facebook, I have not been posting on the blog. The problem is that one day, should I ever wish to catalog the happenings of ChainReaction Ministries, I can't publish from Facebook. Thereby, I really need to get back after posting regularly on Blogger (late night hours, or when Reese [the dog] wakes me up at 3am, every night).

So with that I offer this bullet point summary:
1) May 22 was a great work day. 20 bikes, 8 ready to go to Westside Homeless Partnership
2) Did not do much with it over the summer. Kitchen remodel, and something overtook my garage. Oh yea - crap.
3) Memorial Drive Christian Church allowed me the use of a room to store the bikes and work on them!
4) Delivered five bikes to WHP the week of July 20.
5) Clark Martinson fixed up and delivered 15 to a mission on the east side of town in the same period. Way to go Clark!!!
6) What I pay attention to shapes and changes me.
7) Mackenzie and Dawson think that a) Dad has a bike hoarding problem and b) it is pretty cool to walk into the garage and pick a bike.
8) Kristin is waiting for me to clean the garage.
9) I need to post more often.
10) I need to tell the story more often.

The fact is that we each can give what we have. It is not really ours. It is God's. Do what you can. This is where he is calling me. I am only limited in my giving by the other worldly interferences of daily life. Trying to strike a balance between them. Every day.

Pay it Forward,
David
