Opportunities

As well as recently returning from 15 days abroad (see my other blog), I've also been afforded several more opportunities that I am greatly looking forward to working across the summer and beyond.
An old friend called me up out of the blue, wanting to get rid of a motorcycle. It needed some work, of course, and he just didn't have the time or space in his garage to tinker with it anymore. A 2002 Triumph Trophy, to go along with the 1982 Honda I'm still working with (see previous post below), and I have a full basement!

I've also been offered the opportunity to write monthly for Born to Ride magazine, a great regional publication in the southeast, as well as ongoing opportunities to contribute to Motorcyclist and Cycle World national magazines. I'm grateful for these doors that have opened, and excited to see where this all may lead.

My friends at Phoenix Roasters are about to experience an explosion in growth, as they pioneer nitrogenated cold-brew coffee, and expand into other markets with some of the best coffee on the planet. As operations expand, I may have opportunity to work more with them, which I would very much enjoy. I love these guys, as friends and brothers in Christ. Phoenix has been my church family since leaving the vocational ministry, and they all mean the world to Lisa and me. As the coffee side grows, I look forward to helping any way God may lead.

Exciting times. Plus, I got another "clean bill of health" with another bladder scoping the other day. Living one day at a time, following Christ, making the most of every opportunity.
