Free association!

That is merely taking a first thing and letting your mind run.  Interestingly the result often exhibits some type of logic.  Subconsciously you link two or three things and come up with a new way to approach a story line or plot.

Let’s start with “mouse.”

House.  Roof.  Snow.  Slippery.  Ice. Cold. Sheet.  Chimney.

Now that last one seems completely off kilter.  But . . . what if this is a way to return to the beginning of the sentence — to the house.  I hadn’t even put the two together until now.

Which brings me to a question.  “Is there a logic beyond our own?”  If we can come up with linkages and connections that are beyond normal reason — what of a mind that is it’s own logic.  That encompasses logic, and the subconscious, and reason beyond reason.  Believe it or not, I can imagine that!!  And I would have to say the creator of that logic must be beyond me — greater than me — known and yet unknowable.

Enough of the philosophy!  What would you associate with “The End’?

Schedules have flux.  Ours more so in this past week.  We cancelled a retreat time scheduled for today – Thursday.  I always figure funerals take precedence.

I’m looking foward to today’s funeral.  Lil was a great lady, a jolly life intertwined with Jesus, her family and friends!

We were asked if we will get some time off. 

We planned on retreating at home Tuesday and Wednesday.  Turn off the phone.  Don’t venture out to work.  Fly a low profile.  They then asked if they could make sure we got out of town — at home home retreats don’t always seem to work.  They volunteered to help us make sure we got away!

We’ll be away.  For a few days.  Starting Tuesday.

Thanks to the ones who have been so gracious.

Scott and Alli took some other pictures when they were off to get married.  This is a sense of what is to come.  And I’m all for it. 

’60’s and 70’s cars.  Cars in good shape.  And junkyard cars.  Their type of honeymoon!!

Here it is.  Allison and Scott Opseth — married January 18, 2007.
