A week ago I got a hold of “Ghost Rider” by Neil Peart, the drummer of Rush. Neil lost his only daughter (car crash) and wife (cancer) in just twelve months. Two months after he buried his wife he took his motorbike and went out on the road – without any plans – and stayed there for a couple of years. “Ghost Rider” is his travel journal. Trust me, I love it here at Jesus People USA, but every single time I pick up the book I wanna leave so badly. Just take off and see where the road goes.
I have a plane ticket home to Sweden on the 11th of November and of course I intend to use it. There are some stuff that I have to do before the end of the year – and a billion people I want to meet. What happens next year I don’t really know.
I have a standing invitation to go and hang out with my good friend Art in Israel and I’m thinking of doing that. Chicago is pretty cold already and I don’t think sweden will be much better so I might as well go there.
