one more, to break your heart

growing young

I woke up this morning with a heavy feeling. I can't remember the dream I was having, only that at the very end one of my college friends showed up, and I said sadly, "I feel old."

"Me too," my friend said.

When I woke up, a Rich Mullins song was in my head.

...We are children no more, we have sinned and grown old
And our Father still waits and He watches down the road
To see the crying boys come running back to His arms
Growing young...

This was the third book in the trilogy. It's a great trilogy, but I'm not sure I enjoyed this one as much as the first two. It was a little bleaker, maybe? (If that's even possible.) And the battle scenes went on too long. And I had bad dreams last night.

But all in all, I definitely recommend this trilogy.

space flight

Last night I dreamed that Anna lived on a lake, and right outside her back door she had a small spaceship docked like a boat in the water. She got to keep it there as a reward for success in her job, which was some kind of scientific research rather than doctoring. She let Mollie take it for a flight alone (which shocked me). And then she agreed to take both of us for a flight. The interior was plush red velvet, like a little sitting room. To start the spaceship, she mixed various powders until they made a multi-colored flame under a small silver pot of water. It started bubbling and we flew up into the sky.
