Helmet of Salvation: July 2010

Ephesians 6:17 The Helmet of Salvation

10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Triumph Bonneville Has Arrived

Dad got a steal on a '69 Triumph Bonneville from a guy out in Cali. Closed the deal a week ago and it got delivered already today. Everything on the whole bike is fully rebuilt. It has a kickstart tranny, Paughco Springer front end, wassel tank and rear fender. The paint really sets it off and matches the old school look of the bike. The coolest feature is the skinny rear end with a 19 inch rear wheel wrapped by an avon. Here's some pics of the delivery, more to come:

Following up to the Wharton Freedomfest Auto/Bike Show this past weekend. Dad rode a total round trip of 800 miles on the bike going from Dallas to Austin to El Campo and back. Definnitely was the farthest traveler at the show. I forgot the camera so I didn't get any pics of Brandon's restored '69 Charger, but Jenna Zabodyn took some awesome pics of the bikes. Brandon took first place in the 60s class and also first place in the Viewers Choice where each participant votes on their favorite in show. That car is ridiculous. Dad got ripped off in his Touring class. Another street glide took honors with a bike that wasn't in the same league. The Sporty took 2nd place.
