Don’t Stop Believin’
Posted: April 14, 2010 Filed under: Parenting, Spirituality, Thoughts 2 Comments »Yesterday I was exploring some ring-tones for my phone, and like always I was drawn back to hits from the 80s. It is amazing how quickly a familiar song can take me back in time. It is a metaphysical experience that not only changes the clock, but the place. That’s what happened when I stumbled on this old favorite.
As just a snippet of this song played on my phone, I suddenly found myself driving my 280zx on the twisting, starlit roads of Scholls Ferry Road south of Hillsboro. The amber glow from the dashboard illuminating my attitude as Steve Perry filled my soul with hope.
I Found My Lost Soul Last Night

Last night I went for a walk 30 years ago. After spending some time with my friend Ray, I walked around the campus of Walla Walla College. Not much has changed, yet it is different. The Administration Building is new. There are walkway lights around campus, and some of the older buildings are gone. But overall, it is the same campus. Big trees, old buildings, and familiar walkways.
The College Dairy store is gone – as well as the fire station and some of the smaller buildings. But overall, I don’t see a lot of changes.
