some things last a long time

This weekend was filled with errands, cigarettes and postage stamps. I finished up a lot of little things around the house that needed to be taken care of. I did loads of laundry. I cleaned out the bedroom closet and took a basket of stuff to goodwill.

My pastor’s wife from when I lived in Miles City contacted me on Facebook. I thought about that era of my life a lot this weekend – I was such a confused kid (and I blame teh GAY). A part of me wishes I would have turned out to be the little Christian everyone thought I would be – I actually yearn for it sometimes – but then I look around at my awesome life and awesome wife and feel blessed anyway. As Mom said last night, that was a long time ago and a long way away (although I doubt she meant for it to be used in this context).

I know all too well the Wesleyan’s view on teh GAY, so I’m not planning on bringing it up with Beth. But it does make me extra thankful for my friend Robyn, who is in seminary right now and who fully supports love for loves sake.

I also upgraded my account on emusic.com, and downloaded a ton of music, mostly country/blues (Buddy Miller, Blind Willie Johnson, Hanalei, Okkervil River, Old 97′s, Ryan Adams, Stars, and Gil Mantera’s Party Dream). But today I’m in a Built To Spill kind of mood.
