Archaeology

Do you ever do a search for someone you've known in the past just for kicks to see what comes up? I did that yesterday and found a musician who's Christian Rock Band I was basically a groupie of. Our ministry was to go around with the band to their venues, parks, coffeehouses, schools, etc. and support and pray for the message of the band and those who were hearing it. It brought back so many visual and feeling memories of that time (69 thru about 72). The music was hard rock and exciting and spoke to the spiritual need we all had for Jesus. But for me, it was mixed up with the longing I had for the lead guitar player. After all, I was young. The upshot of that is a whole 'nother story. Suffice it to say there's been a lot of "water under the bridge" since then, but feelings long buried sometimes have a way of resurfacing and carrying you back to a more innocent time.
