A 6 Foot Perspective

Tim Riter August 3, 2013

I don’t know how many others suffer from this malady, but I seem to see the world through a six foot perspective.

Two-Wheeled Unity

Tim Riter April 12, 2013

I got stuck with God. Oh, I still believed and did what I should. Mostly, at least. And I saw him marvelously move in my life. But I lost the intimacy, the sense of close contact. It bothered me, especially that it went on for over a year.

A bit of an unreconstructed Jesus freak. Almost old enough to have known him when he walked this world. About 27 on the inside. Investing his life in university and teen students. Inveterate cross country motorcycle rider. Nature lover. Entranced with the power of written and spoken words. Still learning.
