There was a series of messages over the weekend conference. Each saint's shared portions were so enjoyable. Brother Dave also released his burden on the message in a very exercised spirit.
I really enjoyed the words drafting and slipstream, which brother Dave used.
While cycling back, I saw and felt a bus passing me on the right. I tried to speed up to draft/get into its slipsteam. Basically, it makes it easier for me to cycle at a higher speed.

Brother Dave talked about Brother Lee's ability to pick out the spiritual significance and then see the divine principles. I really enjoy seeing these significance in everyday stuff/things that I partake of.
2 things.
1. The drafting speed needs to be maintained at a moderate/manageable speed to allow the slower rider to latch on to the slipstream.

One burden was that we should not be asking our children to be more spiritually mature than what they should be. I think that however, we should not set the standard too low. Yet, I am also reminded that in Luke, the Lord Jesus at 12 years old was mature enough to know that He needed to be in His Father's house. His parents were astonished. We should praise the Lord and not set a limit on their spiritual growth either. It is indeed comforting and humbling to know that our children's spiritual growth in the Lord is not anything we can control nor hasten.
2. Proper signalling.

Being in a pattern means that everyone in it are almost so close. Both figuratively and literally. When riding in a group, riders usually stay very close behind the front rider to enjoy the draft. The riders in the front needs to give proper signals and set examples for the rest of the pack to follow. Hand signals are used to indicate road obstacles, turns, even stopping. Imagine the front rider emergency braking and causing a chain reaction. Sometimes the messages are shouted and passed down verbally (HOLE! LIGHTS! etc.) ANYTHING to pass the message down and set a pattern for the whole peloton(group) to follow.
Praise the Lord we have such an orderly pattern today in the church. As the head of the house, the man should also set a pattern for his children to follow.

The main title of the messages were along the lines of caring for our young people and children. The main burden shared was for the household unit and parents to be living out such healthy practices.
That's why it's rather weird some of those points linked back to children and family when I'm obviously not ready for that. I think it's on a good and need to know basis, and anyone ;) interested I will most certainly share more on these messages. It is really profitable for those who are going to start being the head of their household. ;)

Oh, and this is posted here because there's cycling parlance AND more importantly this thing hasn't been updated in awhile.
