Translation please

First off, I just discovered a great website called YouVersion. It's not just an online Bible reader, there are many forums and biblical discussions about different topics and scriptures. I love it so far!

My two bibles - English Standard Version (ESV) and New Living Translation (NLT). I usually use the NLT version as an "easy reader" just because the language is slightly more modern in comparison to the ESV. I do love the ESV though, there are some pretty powerful words this translation uses. The thing is, I have heard so many things about how translations such as NLT and "The Message" could possibly distort the actual meaning of the verses because the words are changed around so much. Anyway, just a random thought I had. What do you think about the different Bible translations?

Sorry this was probably one of the most boring blogs you have ever read. If anyone read it...

This is not a sob story

I was riding my bike down a grassy hill this evening in the dark. I saw the stump the instant before I SLAMMED into it and almost flipped over the handlebars but I wasn't going fast enough. Tire popped and I thought that was the only thing I messed up. I changed the tire and everything, then after further inspection of the bike in the light, I saw this:




and this:




It looks like a really slight bend in the fork at the crown, but I have heard that if the fork's bent at the crown then its pretty tough to bend back. I don't want to risk trying that, and the headset might be shot too. I will probably end up buying a new frame, which really stinks because I loved this frame and I literally just got it 2 months ago. Needless to say, I have definitely learned my lesson to not ride in the dark (especially in grass) without a light that helps me see better.

Welcoming any donations to the "Adam's New Bike Frame Fund".   :)

Superbowl Commercials

The Superbowl was AWESOME last night. I was pulling for the Cardinals and had lost hope until the last 5 minutes of the game! Even though I was disappointed that they lost, it was still very impressive to watch the Steelers win. That catch by Santonio Holmes on his tiptoes was unreal. Anyway...here are some of my favorite commercials. Enjoy!
