Here's a shout out to crash bars on motorcycles. I had to lay down the bike this morning entering Route 23. The truck was coming too fast and it was lay it down or get run over - only a gimpy ankle, bruised rear and scuffed  up helmet to show for it. God is good and crash bars are useful.  Riding home I first thanked God that apparently an ace bandage is all I need.  Then I thought about God's crash bars when our life skids out of control.  Just like my bike crash bars kept me from some serious personal damage this morning- God's Word, prayer and spiritual community provide the support when my life gets a little slippery.  If you feel like your life is sliding out of control, try using the crash bars first. :)
