Semi-Professional Cycling in Amarillo, Texas

/0 Comments/in /by

You heard me right, we have a group of young men and girls that are in the 6th grade up to the 12th grade that are cycling the streets and hills of Amarillo, and the community.  The team is called the Yellow Jackets and it is a high school cycling team.  The group compete in the National Interscholastic Cycling Association.  They ride the trails in Palo Duro Canyon weekly and the team is great.  They have such a great attitude and they express themselves in such a way, full of talent, compassion, and integrity.  Plus on top of that they are athletics in the best of terms.  They work hard at what they do and they win races and time trials.  On May 6th the team will be out at the Amarillo National Bank on Georgia.  Along with Carpet Tech and Adam’s Air, we are having a fundraiser car wash.    Please come out and support the team and learn more about them.

I bet you remember last spring in the high plains of Texas.  Got warm early, then got cold at night.  Maybe freezing, and then a day or two later, hot again.  That’s the climate we live in, we all should be use to it, but none of us are.  Two weekends ago both Saturday and Sunday were in the mid nineties, and many of you cranked up the air conditioner and guess what?  It either didn’t cool like you thought it should be or it didn’t cool at all.  So you hit the phones and started calling heat and air companies and a lot of you had no luck, because we were all busy, why, everyone else had the same idea. The following Monday we at Adam’s Air received over 170 calls for checking the air conditioner, and we wanted to take them all, but we couldn’t, because we were already booked solid.   About a month and a half ago we started our Summerization program.  We have over  20 items we check on your HVAC to make sure it is ready for the hot summer months, and we do it all  for FREE!!!!  You heard us free.  Now if there is a simple repair or your needing a part there will be a fee for the parts and labor, but you’ll be ahead of the game.  So call us to get your free Summerization today.

This time of year is always very trying for my family and I, and even the team I work with.   Just this month we have had at least four members of the team out because of a respiratory sickness or infection, and its a hard thing to shake.   Day to day temperature changes from cold to warm or hot makes us think that our immune system is messed up, but that is not the case at all.   Warmer weather always brings humans out of the hibernation state and we like to see friends and be more active and social, and we hang around more people, and of course the more people we socialize with, the more germs are spread easier.  It is officially still winter, as I am typing this and I just took off my jacket because outside its a balmy 65 degrees.   But The jacket will stay in the truck, because living in the high plains of Texas one never knows what could come around the corner.  One thing we can think about is this, dress in layers.  I do and it helps.  As warmer temps start to rise during the late morning hours, you can start peeling coats, or jackets off, and roll up the long sleeves if needed.  Another thing we can do is to keep a scarf, hat, and gloves either in your vehicle, or at your work place, this is for a “just in case moment”,and if it happens, and you have drastic weather changes you will be ready.   This reminds me of something that happen a few years ago, in West Texas.  It was mid April and I was in Nashville but our flight was delayed because of snow at home.  Well once we got home, the weather turned again and it started raining and in a heavy way, then a dust storm came through, so the snow that was left was now brown and the windows, cars, and streets became mud!  It was  raining mud!  That night to cap it all off, we had tornado warnings.    Also since we stay inside quite often during colder months, we miss out on essential vitamins, so be sure to take more than usual.

Christmas shopping

As a Christian we all know that the Christ child was not born in December.  More than likely late summer, or early fall.  The Catholic church were trying to pull people away from the paganism of the Winter Solstice,  so the church changed things up a bit to bring the flock back into the church and away from the debauchery of what the people were into, at least this is what we have read and have been told.  According to Bible.org, we should go ahead and celebrate Christmas as we do, however more focus on Christ as the Savior of the world.

In a article from Forbes a few years ago, the National Retail Federation found that 41% of Americans already began their holiday shopping before Halloween.  So when is the right time?  What started the term Black Friday?  The term actually started in the 1950’s in Philly when the Army/Navy football game would play.  Too many people in town, not enough police caused havoc and bedlam, and the cops had to work and they wanted to go to the game.  The term made its now famous after Thanksgiving in 1961 and as recent of 1985 the term wasn’t even used nationwide.  But it seems this would be the official first day of the actual Christmas buying season.  I mean check the newspaper on Thanksgiving.  Its the only paper we buy during the year, just to look at all the ads and to swear were not going out early in the morning and fight the craziness of it all.

So lets go back to Bible.org and look at what they say about the tree and presents.

  • The evergreen tree is a symbol of the eternal life which Christ, the Son of God, offers to man via another tree, the cross (Rev. 2:7; 22:2, 14).
  • The presents under the tree can remind us of God’s gift and our need to give of ourselves to others as those who have received God’s gift of life through Christ.

Maybe we should really try to follow this lead.  It could make us feel better about the ‘Jesus’ part of the season and why as Christians that we celebrate!  And what about company and office parties?  The ones i  attended in the past were not really about Christmas as all.  Bible.org says this about the worldly celebration:

Scripture does, however, set down principles which should affect the way we celebrate it. These principles warn and protect us from the distortions we find in the world.

  • Today in many companies and offices, Christmas is celebrated with wild, drunken parties where there is no regard for the reason for the season–the birth of the Savior of the World. It becomes just a time of merriment and a time to tie one on.
  • Today people often spend lavishly on gifts and go deeply in debt. They buy things they can’t afford, which nobody needs, and sometimes can’t even identify. The response is “Hey, thanks. What is it?”
  • Children get caught up with the gifts and the toys and lose sight of the Savior–or never hear about the Lord as God’s gift of His Son that we might have life.
  • Through the Christmas message, Parents often fail to teach the spirit of giving as an outworking of one’s relationship with God through faith in Christ, God’s gift to the world.
  • Finally, some may observe the season as they would observe lent, as a religious holy day that must be observed to gain points with God, or to become more spiritual.

But it doesn’t have to be like this. Even the gift aspect can be done in such a way that it is instructive, meaningful, in keeping with one’s budget, and in keeping with biblical teaching concerning Christian stewardship.

  Yea I know, lots to take in and think about, even pray about.  The saying, ‘Keep Christ in Christmas’, can happen if we practice it.  Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas season.
