A sure sign of Spring

This past Monday I took my bike out for a ride, or should I say my bike took me for a ride, or I took a ride on my bike. Oh well, I had a good time. It was a bit cool at 65 mph, but okay as I didn't ride too long at a stretch. By way of explanation this picture was from last summer. This weekend is supposed to be even nicer (we will see).

Reading over my first sentence explains why I think we have such trouble communicating with each other. I know what I meant to said, but each of those phrases carries a different meaning. Too often, offenses are taken when none is intended. Are we just always expecting a criticism or an abuse to come our way, so no matter what is said I take offense. I would think if we know the love of God and are returning it - in part - by loving others we would assume a good intent until proven otherwise. That sounds like a good idea (if I do say so myself) and I will work on thinking that way.
