Jesus Is The Gift
Jesus is the gift that perfectly fits every heart
And it is with His love that all celebration starts.
We rejoice in Him as we remember His birth
And thank God for sending His only Son to earth.
His life led from a manger to a cross on a hill
Where He faithfully followed His Father’s perfect will.
He freely laid down everything so that we could live,
And there is no greater treasure anyone could give.
Like a scarlet ribbon His love wrapped around the cross
And He offered it to us all at the greatest cost.
So each time that we give we remember what He’s done
And honor the perfect Gift – God’s one and only son.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I appreciate having the option to share and celebrate the Treasure & Gift of Jesus at Christmas and that I don't have to follow the throng in choosing mall gifts. I enjoy the process of online shopping at Christian sites such as Dayspring (that you see here) and choosing a meaningful gift for those I hold dear. If it is tugging on your heart too, to seek a meaningful gift for someone, please take a look at these banners for new ideas.

Cycling & Walking Links
I had posted these links in the body (way down) of my posting about Florida being the deadliest cycling state but if you are like me, who once I land on a webpage, am scrolling about to find and view their links, then I wanted to make them easily available to you by making them the sole focus of this post. :-).
If you have other Florida or National cycling links, please send them to me. I'd love to share them to my readers. Email: lori@health-adventure-coach.com Subject: Florida Cycling Link. Thank You.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Never thought I'd have to don my long underwear, hat, gloves, scarf, 3 layers of clothing here in Florida, but Polk County is FREEZING!

I guess it would always be a wise idea to be prepared for emergencies, no matter where one lives.

I guess this is included with this ADVENTURE [An exciting or remarkable experience/quest involving exploration, mission & unknown risks] we're on!

Florida Is The Deadliest State For Walkers & Cyclists
.....so this is NOT good news for me...who is an avid Nordic Pole Walker and a Road Cyclist and who just relocated to Florida! Yikes! I've been chased by a dog and knocked off my bike, sustaining whiplash, bad road rash and a broken clavicle in Oregon (and bone surgery 6 months later) and my husband has been dragged under a car with his bike and sustained multiple fractures, wounds and road rash in Idaho......but we were never in the high statistic danger of being killed by a car on the rural roads of Payette Co., Idaho or Malheur Co., Oregon like we are here in Florida.
We realize now the blessed luxury we had 'back home' in Idaho: to bike from our front step to wherever we wanted to go.
It didn't take us long once we arrived here in South/Central Florida [Polk County], to realize that it wasn't safe to ride our bikes on most roads here. [We are open to being corrected :-)]
Reasons:
1. No shoulder (or, very few)
2. Few bike lanes
3. Very fast drivers and faster-than-comfortable-for-us - speed limits in urban streets
[We live in a 238-home neighborhood. The speed limit is 25 mph; my husband are I are only comfortable driving at 20 mph here due to the number of children/teens who reside in the neighborhood and who either walk the streets or play in the streets and due to the higher-than-25 mph that most residents/visitors seem to travel]
We presently road bike in two places:
Since arriving here end of September we've heard of several bicycle deaths due to being hit by vehicles and another one just this past weekend as per video above. Watch this at Tampa Bay Online
Please take a moment to read this article by USA today with the startling statistics for pedestrian and cycling deaths in Florida.
If you are a resident or visitor to Winter Haven/Bartow/Auburndale FL and would like some company to walk/nordic walk/jog/dog-walk or cycle with, please contact me as my husband and I also are looking to do these activities with others.
Please take the utmost precaution when you are preparing to head out on the roads with your walking shoes, walking poles or bicycle. Read: Bicycle Safety: How Not To Get Hit By Cars
And drivers, Please Share The Road!
