"October 12 and 515"


"Inside outside. Leave me alone.

Inside outside. Nowhere is home.

Inside outside, Where have I been?

Out of my brain on the five fifteen."
 
Leave it to me to find significance in a Who song with our possible rapture day. This is from the "Quadrophenia" album back in the 70's. I know this seems like a stretch but of all the numbers to mention... This song (written by Pete Townshend) is about a kid who feels alienated from his surroundings and world and feels that he doesn't fit in and so he gets on the 5:15 train and heads off to find himself or something. I love the line stating that "Nowhere is home" because I have felt that way since heaven became my home, which for me was back in 1980. (I grew up going to church and was a believer at 4 years old or even sooner, but I became a disciple and gave up my own way in 1980...) I can't wait to get there and meet you all.
 
John, Peggy, Jim B, and everyone, Thank You for your faithfulness and giving us all this home away from home where we have others to watch and wait with. You mean more than we could say! If I could but give a cup of cold water... All I can do is encourage you that we are almost there! Hold fast what you have that no one take your crown.
 
Love to all,
 
Barry Amundsen
