Great thread. Several years back, I was alone staring into the fireplace. I heard like a whisper, "Magna Carta" clearly. I thought wtf? What does that mean? Of course, I searched and a big adventure unfolded right in my own home. It's too long to tell here, but there was a group before Q. They had mind bending tech and addictive music. I will never forget them and will always remember with great admiration and fear. They gave me the link to the board just after Las Vegas Massacre. It's been like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride for many many moons.
My Lord God,
I have no idea where I'm going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end, nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But, I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death, I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. +++
