It has been so long since I last took some time away for me I can't remember when it was. I am sure I am not the only one!! We get so tied up in our lives of business that we forget to sneak away and look back at our lives, our hopes and dreams and what God might want for us that we can lose track of it all at times. I think that this was part of God's plans when He called for us to take a Sabbath.

And so I shall sabbath.

On Monday (May 12) I am planning on getting up at a (relatively) early hour, climbing into my jeep (recently named Mazey), popping in Jon Bon Jovi and hitting the open road. At the moment I am looking at heading south. I figure I'll head down through Crows Nest and across the boarder at Rooseville. From there we'll see where I am end. Just me and Papa (well, I'm packing in Ani DiFranco, Bon Jovi, a lot of U2 and even a little Poison as well!).
I am anticipating some sleep, a heck of a lot of miles and some photo ops along the way. I am hoping to keep you, my friends and a few random strangers updated on what will most likely be rather dull to anyone else, but feel free to look me up here and see where I end up!!

The open road is calling
and this time I get to answer!

"Lost Highway" Jon Bon Jovi

In my rearview mirror
My life is getting clearer
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure
Life changes like the weather
You grow up, grow old, or you hit the road 'round here
So I drive (drive drive)
Watching white lines passing by
My plastic dashboard Jesus
Waiting there to greet us

Hey Hey I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
Yeah, I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey, hey hey

Don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
I'm afraid of going back again
So I drive (drive drive)
Years and miles are flying by
And waiting there to greet us
Is my plastic dashboard Jesus

Hey Hey
Hey Hey I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
Hell, I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey
Hey, hey

Oh patron saint of lonely souls
Tell this boy which way to go
Guide the car, you've got the keys
Farewell to mediocrity
Kicking off the cruise control
And turning up the radio
Got just enough religion
And a half a tank of gas
Come on
Let's go

I finally found my way
Said goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
I'm busting loose, I'm lettin go
When I'm out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
Hey hey
