Battling diabetes is something that is close to our hearts since Adam has Type I Diabetes. AFC's mission at it's core is to raise awareness, show other diabetics that anything is possible, and to do anything to combat diabetes!

Today we rested, got caught up on emails, sent out some T-Shirts for those who ordered them online, and ran some errands for things we needed. For the first time in a long time I was not in terrible need of a rest day but it was still nice to have one. After our easier week of 70 or less miles a day at RAGBRAI we all feel pretty good lately.

Our goood friend Tom Keller, who we met during RAGBRAI, and who hosted us when we went through DesMoines, Iowa had this to say:

"I'm glad you didn't go to Chicago. Even when you were here I thought you needed a rest.

Isa 40:31 'But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew
their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall
run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.'

Here's hoping you wait upon the Lord for your strength."

Yea sometimes resting is good :)
