Midnight Journal(2)

     It was then that the mother of pastor David rose to sing "Ave Maria".  She came up to piano in a gentle pace, took a breath, closed her eyes, and delivered the goods.  Well, never have heard the song offered with more feeling, more passion and fervor. She was seventy years old and magnificent.  The plain voice flowing in the air was neither scratchy nor dramatic that you might expect from an aging third rate opera singer. This was actually the voice of a grandmother distilling her life into the music to honor what she loved and believed in. when the last lovely note faded and silence held us firm, the "grandma" opened her eyes, smiled at us, and said, "my lord be with you."
     That is basically what received from the journey of soul. I told out my sins with once-in-life-time honesty.  I may never get a chance to bump into Pastor David and I truly miss this mid aged gentleman of deep sea pupil, although he didn＇t succeed making me believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin and paid my sin debt in full.
     Noah is now too sleepy to drive. It＇s my turn to stay awake in this misty of midnight Los Angeles. Fog stands still when we are inching along the road of this spiritual trip. I don＇t know what keeps me in such a wild and peaceful excitement. Well, if the fog doesn＇t lift, may we at least have some lines and reflectors put down along the road to guide us.
