Happy Easter: “We’re Living in the Best of Times”

General Posts / By

Mark 9:23Jesus said unto him, “If thou can believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” Hey Folks, Hope you are with friends and family and grateful! We all at Bikernet.com and 5-Ball Racing Shop wish you the very best. Happiness may be a state of mind but it is also obvious that we have amenities, services, products, opportunities, information and a lifestyle that presents us with everything imaginable to envision success, if not get up (or) get out and do what our heart desires. Past generations may have had a simpler existence, but the immense possibilities for life to be healthy and joyous has never been so easily and readily available to the masses. As Bandit says often, “We’re living in the best of times” and this is not just a cause for celebration but also our stoic responsibility to not allow anyone to make it otherwise. Whether it is their greed or power or insanity, we need to be able to defend our right to be joyous in our humble existence, with integrity, ethics and honesty in arts and sciences (media and technology). Not to “burn daylight” as Bandit says, have a blessed Sunday and stay positive, fruitful and grateful. —Wayfareryour Bikernet Blog Editorillustration titled “a new day, everyday” by Wayfarer

100 WFC: A Last Milestone by Steven Sanner

100 word fiction contest continues…. #100WFC A Last Milestone by Steven Sanner with illustration by Wayfarer The wind whipped across my face like a thousand cats shredding flesh. I thought of warmer conditions, but the falling 40-degree temps and fading light would not relent. I’m glad I invested in the horsehide coat; I wished for chaps to match. Then, a warm feeling kindled deep within me, remembering the gratitude expressed by the family of the fallen soldier for having been a riding escort to the gravesite…enough to get me back home. I will be riding again—rain, shine, snow, or freezing temps—to make it to the next patriot Guard mission. It’s the least I could do to give thanks.

I had feast and festivities on my mind; skipped lunch to dig into the cooking that awaited me at home. Not a spark of life in sight on Christmas Eve! As I spied any vehicle or mobile phone signal—whoa, a bunch of kids from the neighborhood came dragging a large towing trolley. “Where’d you get that thing?” “Hey, Mr. Pete! ‘Twas lying outside the ol’ junkyard,” chirped one kid. “Let’s put it to good use fellas, we got to repair and rebuild—not throw and waste this season.” “Yay” they yelled, helping me get the flat tire towed on a joyous sleigh.
