CycleChatters in the Bible

[arallsopp]

...And aperitif said, "put down your maps and follow me, for I shall make you Mouseketeers of men"

(And that women would be equally welcome, of course).

 

[Auntie Helen]

Is Auntie Helen really a priest/Vicor? If so, id definitely go to church as much as i could do.

No I'm not (a priest or vicar). Equally, I'm not fit actually - just picked a reasonable photo of me in clerical garb. Still, I'm quite chuffed by your comments. I still don't know what to make of the post a month or so back where someone said I looked like Jordan!

But Joe's comments made me think, as alecstilleyedye mentioned to me separately, "God moves in mysterious ways"...

 

[Auntie Helen]

Cubist, I like your psalm quotes.

Here are a couple from Proverbs:

"Even a cyclist is known by his actions,
by whether his conduct is pure and right." (Prov 20:11)

"The way of the sluggard is blocked with Thorns,
but the path of the upright is a Mercian." (Prov 15:19)

I really want to ask a question, but i think it may offend too many people to ask.
Something about about the priest/vicar and the church/confessional booth and something else, and if it would be wrong.
But i wont do!

Are you trying to say your not a fitty? How old are you?

 

[Auntie Helen]

You can always PM me, Joe, I may be able to answer your question.

I'm not a fitty, no. And I'm 38. Which is very old.

 

[Joe24]

Only as old as the person your feeling
I dont think its a serious enough question to be able to PM you about.

Never ask a lady her age!

Thought that was weight?
From the picture i saw of Helen, i thought she was younger then what she says

Aww shucks Auntie H: Here's one just for you then:

The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven coolmax padding
14 in many-coloured cycling jerseys she is led to the king;
behind her the virgins, her companions, follow.
15With joy and gladness they are led along
as they enter the LBS clothing section.


Psalm45

 

[Auntie Helen]

Well the photo was taken a couple of years ago. But I do look young for my age, of course, as all ladies approaching middle age do. Of course. Definitely.

As it happens, I was mistaken for an eighteen year old on a boat cruise last year. By an American woman. She was a bit dippy as she had heard that I was there with my husband celebrating our fifteenth wedding anniversary. She clearly thinks that English people are allowed to marry at three years old.

Bloody Americans, all the same

Psalm 53 seems to speak of Halfords staff:

4Have they no knowledge, those evildoers,
who sell unto my people BSOs,
and do not set them up righteously?


5There they shall be in great terror,
in terror such as has not been.
For God will scatter the bones of the ungodly;
they will be put to shame.

 

[Fab Foodie]

I shall touch you in mysterious ways....

Nooooo not the... Noodley appendage

 

[Cubist]

No doubting it at all, we've all had days like psalm 56:

1Be gracious to me, O God, for people overtake me on bikes with racks and mudguards;
all day long headwinds oppress me;
2car drivers pass too close to me all day long,
for many fight against me.
O Most High-viz, 3when I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
4In God, whose word I praise,
in primary position I trust; I am not afraid;
what can taxi-drivers do to me?


5All day long they seek to injure my cause;
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6Punctures stir up strife, they lurk,
they watch my steps.
As they hoped to have my gatorskins,
7 so repay* them for their crime;
in wrath cast down the peoples, O God!


8You have kept count of my tossings;()
put my mileage in your cyclogs.
Are they not in your record?
9Then the POBs and singlespeeder couriers will retreat
on the day when I call.
This I know, that* God is for me.
10In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
11in God I trust; I am not afraid.
What can a mere mortal do to me?


12My cyclecraft I must perform, O God;
I will render thank-offerings to you.
13For you have delivered my soul from death,
and my feet from clipless moments
so that I may cycle to work
in the light of life.

 

[Auntie Helen]

Cubist, that is genius
