OFFER UP THANKS, SACRAFICE, THEN ASK

With thanksgiving just around the corner it is a great opportunity for families to get together and give thanks to God for all our nation and personal blessings and to consider those in want and need for the basic things we also take for granted. So don’t forget before feasting to give thanks to the only true and wise God, and offer a personal pledge of sacrifice in the way of a donation to your needy charity. After which you can offer up a prayer of blessing for yourself, your families and the country. Suppose you see a person who has no food or clothing, and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. James 2:15-17

 

FOLLOW-UP TO THE CONCOURSE 14: So the only question is will I buy a Concourse 14? To be honest I am hoping that the magazine test reviews find enough flaws in the bike that I can easily forget about the idea of owning one. But even if the Concourse 14 is raved as the best motorcycle advancement since the 4-cyclinder Honda 750, I don’t think I can practically justify a purchase in good conscious since I have only had my new B12 for one year. The B12 is an excellent bike with tried and true 1980’s race technology, a “duce-coop” that can fly comfortably. None-the-less the Concourse 14 with its all computer controlled engine, drive train technology and reasonable cost, should make the Concourse 14 the 1st in many new standards for motorcycle manufacturing and heavily impact both the touring and sport motorcycle industry.
