History and a Bike Ride on a Sunday Afternoon

Today was a great day. Worship was wonderful as always. NewPointe is a great place to worship God. Cindy and I hade some old friends check out services today. It was nice to see Greg and Sandy. Worship is always a little extra special when you personally know people are here for the first time.

Sunday afternoons this time of year for me include bike rides. That bicycle rides. I'm now pushing close to 1,600 miles for the year. Today our route started from Gnadenhutten. Gnadenhutten was the settled in the late 1700's Ninty-six christian Indians were massicured there in 1782.

We left from Gnadenthutten and headed out on hill after hill until we reached Peoli. Peoli is where baseballs greatest player of all time is burried. Cy Young. It was cool to ride by his grave. I'm sure most people didn't know that he is burried right here in Tuscarawas County. Now you do.

Ted and I grew up in Gnadenhutten, went to high school there. I think when you live in a historical place, you don't really appreciate the full inpact of that history especially when we had to learn about it every year. It is an interesting place though.
