The Tour

The “Tour de France’ is over for another year. The streets of Paris were filled with cheers from the spectators as the cyclists began the final 50km circuit. The speed began at a moderate pace and then began to increase on each lap of the circuit until the last lap where there was a frantic push for the finish line. The sprinters had been shielded, and paced, by their team during the early stages of the race so that they could be in a position to give their all, in a final burst of energy to cross the finish line in first place. The best teams were those who worked together as a total unit, each person completing their allotted task within the team, to get their man home first.

This year’s ‘Tour’, was not only a great spectacle, it was a great race.



Psalm 63:7,8 (NIV)
Because you (God) are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
