dear Josh,

I really wish you could have made it down for the wedding.  It was great, not only to see A and P get married, but also seeing the old group again.  It was a 427 reunion, sans you.  We had a lot of fun talking and reminiscing.  I think what I liked most about it was that we didn't recount so many old memories, but we just hung out like nothing had ever changed.  I would even say it was helpful, to just be with old friends in an old, yet different, way.

I ended up staying in LJ that night because we were at the wedding for so long (and because we hung around to talk for a while after that).  I got up at 7am and drove back home, and it was a beautiful Sunday morning for driving.  I stopped several times to take photos and pick flowers.  I picked bluebonnets, illegally.

Life is good when you can escape for a while; and God always is, regardless.

From Kierkegaard:

"If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe."

sincerely,

vm
