Readings n Musings

While reading 'Mennonite in a Little Black Dress - A Memoir of Going Home" - by Rhoda Janzen, I came across a lot of quotes I really felt like retaining in my memory.

In one of the later chapter's, when Rhoda talks about a chat with her Mennonite mother, she quotes her Ma's feelings about religion (in general):

"When you are young religion is so much about what is right and wrong, what you should do and not do. When you turn older, you realize that your religion is about your relationship with God, with those around you, with the community you live in."

The Great American Road Trip

Driving down classic two-lane American roads, passing by great displays of neon signs, rusty middle-of-nowhere truck shops, all-time favorite pop numbers "I would walk 500-miles" playing on the car stereo .. all along just making that unforgettable journey through diverse American landscapes and people .... welcome to The Great American Road Trip!

More information building up .. comments are welcome.

I like to save some thoughts, feelings (& qoutes) for later.. just in case :)

I smile sometimes, I cry sometimes; I live sometimes...no reason... just

A great way to get people to co-operate is a smile :)

I'm trying to pack...I take everything I don't need, leave everything I DO need behind...

Off to the airport... I hate standing in queues... Why can't we all just love each other, so then we wouldn't need security checks?

I've decided to maybe start writing, not a script....just thoughts in general...There are way too many thoughts in my head :)
