My First Easter "Back"
April 21, 2003
My Brother’s Home, Mission Viejo, CA, Easter Morning. I went to little “Cady-bug’s” 1st Birthday party yesterday afternoon here in Lake Forest and hung out with my friend, Marie and gang. Well, actually what ended up happening is that I made a connection with Eric, Marie’s friend, Etta’s husband. Marie had said that Etta and Eric had become “born-agains” a couple of years ago and that it was a real balancing act in their friendship. So I knew that that was in the air. What I didn’t know is that Eric was in the process of switching from his former DJ thing to exploring how he can use his music to serve the Lord. He’s a drummer and basic all around sound-guy. Whoa. That was an unexpected turn. Interesting….

Returning to the Scene of the Crime
April 14, 2003
After church this morning …. (I’ll let that thought sink in for a moment) I called my love’s work number and left her a voice message wishing her a happy sunday, telling her that I’m in Orange County doing something that I haven’t done in 18-years (without actually telling her that I’ve gone to my old church, Covenant Presbyterian Church in Orange) and telling her that I love her. I kind of assumed that she’d get the message on Monday because she doesn’t go into work on Sunday.
Interesting day. Some time yesterday I decided to take a step, a step that I hadn’t taken in about 15-years. I’d been thinking about it for some time, but I guess it just started to make sense yesterday. In a sense, I was feeling like it is time to put my money where my mouth is. I mean, I’d been thinking about the time left in my exile from my love and decided that it was time to go back to church. That sounds so weird to say like that, but that’s basically what I did today.
