Balance for Bikers

The close of another riding season..another milestone..

            I can look back at that..and some really great rides...

   

rear view mirror stuff..

                  thinking on the time that has gone by...

                                                                        or...

   look at a new accessory for the bike next year!

                        I am going to spend time with the latter...for at least a moment, as my wife said..

              'hey what Harley 'thing' do you want for your gift this year '??

        The rear cylinder on my Harley has a 'two into one' exaust configuration, and I am considering going with a

'true' dual exhaust setup...

                                                ...for balance...equal load to both pipes.

                                                                               

   I think it would sound cool...but

              

       me balancing the load may not align with the efficiency..the reasoning behind the original design... 

    

                           the Designer...

                                           may have had a purpose for that load to be shifted on One side..

                                                                                     

                                                                                                                           .. to run further...cooler..easier.

  ok...shifting gears

          

              from  John the Baptist      

                 

  John 3     

      ³⁰He must become greater; I must become less.

   

                  to

                                Jesus

               Matthew 11

  ³⁰For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."-

   

       

hmmm....maybe before I consider modifying the Path...

            I should revisit the Designers Manual...and check some specs..

       

     John 3

¹⁷For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.     

John 14

⁶Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

    

         Looks like the Design says that One should take the load.. 

    

                                                                    ..but is that very efficient?     

    back to the Manual ..                        

   

Matthew 4-Jesus Heals the Sick

 ²³Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. ²⁴News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them.    

       ok…100% efficient. Lets move on…

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve

 ¹He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil^[a] spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.

                                                                            

 100 per cent-o

²⁰They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketful s of broken pieces that were left over.

            numero 100 - oh

                                                                                                       

                                                                                                                                       

³⁵And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him ³⁶and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.

                ok...I get it.. the original design was extremely efficient...

        but what about the production models...you know... the ones like mine?

        lets check further in the manual...

   

¹⁵As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by. ¹⁶Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by evil^[a] spirits, and all of them were healed

            to.. be.. continued..

   

                   

⁶When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues^[c] and prophesied. ⁷There were about twelve men in all.

            twelve out of twelve....that would beeee...100%

The Power from the original Design runs right through the production models..

         at 100%.

      

           hmmm... makes me wonder how many production models..

    

                                            are just parked..

                                                       ...in worship 'parking lots' everywhere..

                                                                

                                                                     and yes, maybe mine.

 - my (and maybe your) life as a follower of Jesus the Christ  brings three things to mind :

          -   an electric range... (no flame..controlled heat)

               -   a gas stove (controlled flame,gets up there a little)

                   - and a crazy big bonfire..flames jumping... leaping... reaching.. (yeah baby!!)  -

                                                                        -choice-

     I just went through and did some picking and choosing through scripture..but isn't that just it..

    

                     picking and choosing..

                                         like we are all mechanics..

                instead of learning from the original Design,

    

                                      which is Perfect.

                  I wonder what would happen..

   from a Power, efficiency standard Today..

       

                        if we all wanted the Holy Spirit of the Original Design for our Life...more than anything else!

                           Thinkin' ' bonfire'  baby!

                                                                     and  

that the 2 into One set up.. really rocks.                                                                                                    

                                                                                                                                       

  

   John 17

 ³I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
