So, I came up with a way to go up north and see some faraway friends. Other than being completely ridiculous and impractical, it was perfect!!! I would just need an equally ridiculous and impractical friend to drive me. So I immediately thought of my very best M friend. I wasn't completely sure I could talk even her into this insane road trip; however, not only did she heartily agree to all the north-bound destinations, she added on that we also go south-east, and then more south, extending my 8-day foray on the west coast to a 2 week sojourn into the interior of America! What a friend!
I was speaking, (via blog), to a faraway friend who mentioned the distance between us--specifically, that she didn't like it. I beg to differ, as I have enjoyed communicating with like-minded people who happen to live far away. I've enjoyed expanding my mind and my heart and learning that there are people like me (and people not like me), all over. Women my age in other countries face the same joys and trials I do. People all the world over hold to the same Christian beliefs I do. My prayer life has grown by leaps and bounds as I pray for these unseen saints. My world atlas has never been opened so often as it has been recently. It is good to see the reality of this life, to know some of your present earth-companions.

Happy trails!
What a fun idea! That took some guts to ask someone to do that. Hope you are feeling better than I am.
Happy traveling.
What exactly is the "interior of America?" I hope you mean more than Sacramento, Bakersfield, and Fresno.
Does Las Vegas count? Baja?
And Tangle, probably not.
Oh, by the way, I'm sorry if this windstorm is bothering any of my fellow Santa Claritans. I prayed this afternoon that God would blow some of this pollen away, and, well, it got really windy.
So, my freezing teeth, and not being able to speak or smile outside is YOUR fault??? Man, is it cold!!! Your tennis balls must fly to Palm Springs from here.
I'm still waiting for you to post on your blog about the controversial spelling of "donut" or "doughnut".
What a fun roadtrip! How can "M" get that much time off work?
Probably can't. I will quote myself as describing the trip as "completely insane and ridiculous."
Stink. I wish she could. Then I could see you both! Oh well. Lord willing, come August, I will be able to anyway. I enjoy the long-distance fellowship as well. I'd just like to meet! :) Sorry for my lack of commentude. I haven't been as faithful a blogger lately. Lots of workitude, I guess.
Baja California? That is not even in America.
Vegas...? I don't know. It sure is the interior of sin and depravity (Oh, I go there on occasion too :)).
This would be freaking awesome.
When are you two leaving, or are you on the road already?
It is only in our heads and hearts that we are on the road . . . for now, anyways.
Let's hear it [eye it?] for imagination and a good atlas, then.
We are cautiously hopeful (so don't anyone get too excited . . . although I must say that M and I are very exciting people, and even the remotest possibility of our coming to a town near you merits a quantity of excitement), this thing COULD happen in late mayo/early junio. Fret not, Northerners-we may be headed your way!!!
If you'd like to make a fiduciary (money) contribution to this very short-term mission trip, please feel free.
