Idol thoughts

Well, I guess American Idol is over. It reminds me of my few seconds of involvement with the show when I was quoted by the media regarding Chris Sligh. Somehow, what I said got twisted into the idea that I was "questioning his faith." It shows how little the media understands the nuances of Christianity. They take a disagreement over a method or interpertation and turn it into a "questioning his faith."

I guess it reminds me of one of my favorite sayings, "Disagreement does not equal hatred" or in this case it doesn't equal condemnation.

I would like to clarify that I did record the show and skim through it to see Chris perform. The fact that the media was going to one day call me and ask questions was obvious, so I didn't want to be ignorant. However, I would point out that I had never watched the show before then and have not since.

Chris lives in my neighborhood and I stopped by once when he was in his front yard and told him I wasn't questioning his faith. He understood and expressed a greater understanding of how the media can take things and turn them.

Check out the picture. It is my Specialized Allez Elite with my new Kysrium wheel set. I am lovin' life. It is as smooth as butt'r!

2006 Specialized Allez Elite Triple

Last night I dressed out to ride before going to my son's soccer game. I was sitting watching them chase the ball around and I looked down at my HRM. 53 bpm. Wow, that made me happy. This riding seems to be doing good things for the old ticker!
