Once I dreamed that I was in the kitchen of my local church, with familiar people. It seemed as though everyone was talking and carrying on with small talk. I noticed on one of the counters there was an old magazine. Curious, I picked it up and opened it. Not remembering anything as to what the magazine was about, I just simply looked down at the date on the bottom of one of the pages. I don’t remember the exacted publish date, but do remember seeing 2004. I was drawn into the number, and as I was the room and everyone in it seemed to spin. Not in a dizzying way, but in a disappearing way. When everything came back to focus, I noticed the kitchen was empty and looked like it did before it was remodeled. Then a question clearly was asked by an un-seen person’s voice, “Would you change anything if you had the chance?” I was dumb founded by the question and then awoke in my bed, with the question still rolling through my mind and ears. I deeply pondered and “day dreamed” the things I went through over the last 6 years, eventually I came to conclusion that I would not change anything, because of the blessings I would have missed otherwise.
