hey now, I can't keep saying endlessly

I have to say,
Im almost through the Da Vinci Code--
I dont think its very good.
It did give me the opportunity though
to re-examine why I believe what I believe.

Spoke to an amigo tonight who mentioned that
he had several friends that had rejected christianity
but seemed to have forgotten the reasons why.
Over time, disbelief simply became their default position.
I wish that I could say the opposite, that believe in Christ came
naturally to me...but sometimes it doesnt.

and now, suddenly, I have so much more to lose.
(Im talking about you babe)
I know this seems a little disconnected,
but this is just a segment of a larger rant
that Ill be mulling over in the next few months.

Im going to take some time off this next month to
"ride the rails" out west. I was going to try and make
it to Calgary--but apparently it can take up to 3 days.
I have some aquintances that work for CP and they
have informed me that it would be a foolish thing to try.
Fortunately for me, I dont care, I am foolish.
I think that Ill do a shorter "trial" run. A trip to saskatoon
that should take less than a day.
There are some details to work out...
Ill keep you posted.

I thought abit tonight about what our house might be like.
You know, 18 years from now...
If we lived in the city I think we should have a loft apartment
with a freight elevator that you can ride your motorcycle up
into the kitchen on.
No brown couches. Please.
No...seriously.


At first I would just daydream about the airport...
then the few days afterwards--our trip together
now I imagine us old skydiving in bolivia on your
75th Birthday. No Brown Couches. Really.
Im going to write abit...
and then go to bed.
Have the best of days Faith.


song of the night is clearly
Daring Daylight Escape by the Infinitely Good
Caedmon's Call.
(your lucky I like you enough to overlook the travesty
that is your musical taste;)
