if only i lived beside the lake...

today at the library i listened to some Ravi Zacharias... and i was ridiculously challenged. i actually had to stop for ten minutes, and take down some notes.

and then i listened to some justin king, and put my worries to rest. nothing makes me realize the infinite simple beauty of a summer day like acoustic guitar. i still have a lot (a lot) to learn.

after that i found a bible, with metal hinges, from 1879. it had that "old forgotten treasure" smell.

i need to find a ride to lake. so i can use the sound "woot" in the proper context. the lack of a ride, and the knowledge that i used to live within walking distance of a lake in nanaimo, is a drag.

oh well. i need to put my worries to rest again... and never combine coffee and philosophy ever again. dangerous mix.

update- the next morning.

i never did end up going to the lake... which doesn't really make much sense. what do you do if you are hot in canada? go to a lake. what if you live in abbotsford? sit around and complain how much life is boring and useless, even though life isn't useless, you just live in a culturally dry and lifeless city. but thats just my biased opinion. hm. life goes on.

Let me tell you a story:

Muhammad once sought proof of his teachings by ordering a mountain to come to him. When it did not move, he maintained that God had been merciful, for if it had indeed moved they all would have been crushed by it.

And so a lovely idiom was born :))

if the LAKE won't come to ADAM, ADAM must go to the LAKE
