Restless

**The following is a guest blog from my friend Jeff Flint also known in certain circles as Eclipse:

I've been off work (retired) for 17 months now and today I have been more restless/bored than I can recall in my entire life. I am much too young to feel this dang old. Perhaps it is a midlife crisis but I am feeling boxed in. I am craving movement, open skies and country air. As a teen I pieced together a decent road bike from several I purchased cheaply at auctions I attended with my dad. I spent countless hours and days on the back roads of Augusta and Rockbridge counties in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. I am ready to be that nomad again. Maybe not riding the bike (the knees don't work so well anymore) but hopefully on a scooter following a young wooly mammoth on his bike while providing support and adding strength and memories to a friendship that began 5 years ago at a Christian camp. The plans are to travel down the Pacific coast with no concrete plans while letting GOD lead us as we explore and enjoy His creation. I will end by saying we pray this is GOD's will and I can hardly wait to see my friend face to face again. Hope to keep you posted as plans evolve for at least one of us to resume those perfect circles.
