And all the day we hunted and nothing we could find,
but a book containing the word of god,
and I dare not leave it behind.
One year. Happy anniversary to me. I still remember when I was a Wesley Acres and I was in chapel and I was thinking about how sick I felt and how much being there wasn't my cup of tea. I still remember the night, clear as crystal, when I yelled at a crowd of people. Best night of my life as of yet and not soon to change.
I think it was called an altar call; when people come up and share what they've done, felt or learned in the time they've been in the presence of God. I must've been one of the last ones t to go up and speak my piece and I didn't feel so good about it at the time. I decided to go up and give a shot and see what I had to say. What I said came strangely natural and I didn't have the normal stage fright that usually overcomes me when I get up in front of an audience. I thanked everyone for being there and shoving me through everything. I dunno why I said it but felt like the right thing to say at the time. I meant to say god rocks but I ended up yelling it at the top of my lungs. I put down the microphone when I said it for sake of not blowing the speakers. It felt so right.
It still feels right and I still feel like I could go and feel it all again. I feel some if it tonight. There's no crowd and no one to hear me scream but I still feel like I'm there. I've never felt better.
I'm still here and still Christian and still working my way through the pages of wisdom rules and guidance but I don't feel alone doing it. I know God's here with me and he's lookin' at me and he's saying, "hey, he didn't turn out so bad did he?" I still could scream but I'll just say it, "God rocks guys."

happy spiritual birthday, bud...when you're not in the union and no longer a slave of the MNR, we can go to church again. In the meantime, I'll lend you a cool book or two. I still remember dancing at the back of the DMC over you and your shouting.

happy spirit birthday andre. It was shannon who told me first, I was standing in the living room of my house in Fort Langley it was very sunny and I dropped the phone. I wasn't sure whether I believed it. It was one of those things I prayed for and never quite let myself believe would ever happen.
But it did didn't it. What joy.
Next fall we're both in town, oh andrew lets go to church together. That'd really be something.
I love you very very much.
