AJ and his airsoft guns

I played my first several games of airsoft that were actually outside in the woods... and I actually had a sweet gun! It was pretty serious.

Here is AJ with his guns:

Storms and Levis Review

So it seriously stormed like crazy during the middle of the night last night! It was intense.

I posted a review (a rather rough review, but a review none the less) about Levis up on singletracks last night after our ride yesterday:

"i rode levis today for the first time in about 15 months, and was again just awed by the quality of the trails here! i dream of levis when i am away, and it is so good to be back for a visit! after doing a great deal of riding in the southeast in addition to the west, i have decided that levis has to rank as one of the best bike trails in the country! it's IMBA epic label is well deserved! new improvements include several smart reroutes, some new bridges, extended bridges, some small stunts on the normal trails, and they are just beginning work on a skills section. after one week of building, the skills section already has a teeter totter and several interesting bridges, with some skinnies ready to be put in. as far as levis in general goes, the incredible variety from crazy-challenging technical terrain to long xc loops with some serious climbs and sweet descents... with the trail being very "single" singletrack... this place rules! that's all i can say!"

Here is the review that I had previously posted on Levis:

"this is where i learned to ride, and everywhere i travel: from northwest montana, to wyoming, all over colorado, and now to the east... i still compare the trails to those back at levis mound, wi to see how they stack up. levis is incredible! especially when you consider the fact that it sits in the middle of wisconsin. ride it."

That first review was concise and to the point... but I just couldn't keep myself from raving some more about how awesome the riding is there!

so i've been meaning to write an update about how awesome youth group was on weds night and i guess i'm texting one in. Th@e kids all came back from camp and got up in front and took turns sharing about what God did in their lives and they were so awesomely genuinely on fire@! They came together as a group so much! I want to always chase Jesus with the passion that those kids exhibited on weds night. It was truly awesome to @behold! God is definitely doing work!@

Because the Summer in Georgia is SO HOT!!
