...and I wasn't even looking for it. Man, gotta love the Pope and his homies.

Calling all Christians...
Posted Jun 19, 2003
Just wondering if any of you would like to try and revive the h2g2 Christian group. It is here: A202519. I think with a new look, some friendly faces, we could get it going again. A lighthouse, of sorts.
If anyone's interested, just go there, or say something here.
God bless.

Thoughts From The Ocean
Posted May 30, 2003
Another vacation over, surf and sun now far away...
A thought struck me, as I stood on the beach. I noticed that, as I stood in the lapping waves, as a wave drew close, the water pulled towards it, and with that water, the sand from under my feet. Curious, I stood in one place, to see what would happen. After a few large waves, I staggered, and fell. Getting up, I saw that the foundation beneath my feet had completly eroded, only indents left. 'Course, I got up, and blushed quite a bit. It's a rather funny picture, me, looking reflectivly out to sea, waves, the setting sun... me staggering suddenly and falling over for no readily apparent reason... you know.
Anyhoo, the reason that I'm rambling on (and if you don't want to hear me talk about God, well, I'd turn back. 'cause I'm gonna. So there,) is that it occured to me that our walk through life is much like a walk along a beach. We move steadily along, with each wave representing a problem, and the sand beneath us is, well, our strength, our support, our faith. If we stop our walk, maybe because things /can't possibly be going this way/, or /this shouldn't be happening to me/, or, /if God cares, why does He let this happen?/, we find ourselves off balance, teetering on a shifting foundation that can only be renewed by another step forward, on towards God and His path. One that ends with Him.
This is rather profound for me, so, whoops! Wow, where'd that come from?
Ahem. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Holy Spirit has left the building. That's all for this evening, so, signing off here from dismal Illinois, this is Mystrunner wishing you all God Blessings and Good Night!
*The lights fade as the curtain swishes closed. And, over the mike, one catches a hint of sound, something almost like, "Lord, I miss California."*
*Musical hit. Dim lights.*

On Vacation...
Posted May 23, 2003
Well. Right.
We hiked the Grand Canyon. Words fail to describe the pain that's put me in. Suffice to say I hurt all over. Never want to see another desert again. Ug.
The drive to San Diego was nice. Listened to the Spirited Away soundtrack, which, I might add, is almost as good as the movie. Anyhoo, we got in, checked into our hotel, and wandered around down town. The weather is perfect. About 72 degrees continuosly, slightly breezy. It's heaven, almost.
Oh! I went down to the San Diego Zoo, which was amazing. Met an oragutan, not to mention a dragon (kimono). Cool critters. Bad food. *Shrugs*
Got down to the main Mall area, which is where I am right now, typing. Got the new Newtype magazine, which is nice. Out of things to say. Will be going down to the beach soon, and am thinkning of you all.
Wish you were here!

Leaving...
Posted May 19, 2003
Well, this is it. I'm heading out today for nine days on the west coast, hiking in Arizona and then spending the rest in San Diago. Yup. Not San Francisco. But San Diago. My mistake.
If I can find net access, I'll pop up a time or two. If not... Well, see you all in nine days!
