Mountain bike prayers

By Meg Andersen

Last year, I competed in a high-school league mountain-bike race a few hours from where I live in northern California. I have been racing for two years on a team of about 12 riders. This was my second race of the season, and I had put in a lot of time in training, hoping to do well in the race. 

Usually I would read that week’s my Bible Lesson before practice or competition, but that Sunday morning I didn’t feel like I needed any metaphysical prep. All I knew was that “me, myself, and I” were ready to roll.
