Commuter Life

View Larger Map

I (Brent) currently have the commute to end all commutes. Daily I embark upon an epic voyage which spans the greater part of Southern California. Yesterday, I attempted to take the train(s).

Here are the details of my journey:

I woke up at 4:45 AM got ready and left my house at 5:36 head to the train station to catch the 5:56 AM train. I was about 5 minutes earlier than I needed to be.

Then, after a 50 minute train ride, I had to hoof it over and hop on a bus in Norwalk that would take me on a 20 minute ride to get me to the next train station. Then I took that train about 30+ more minutes and got off right outside the gate where I work. Got into my office at 7:55 AM.

Then, walking out of my office at 5:00 PM, I repeated my steps on the way home (the return trip, however, featured an incident where I was required to physically pry the back doors of a Norwalk Transit bus open and sprint with all the might that my 30 year old legs could muster) and I arrived to our house again at 7:15 PM.

Needless to say, I don't believe I will be making a habit of taking the train. So, looks like I will still be getting up before the farmers and driving the 5 to 405 slot.

But, I am actually feeling great about where I am. My Father is doing a great work in me that I am only barely beginning to peer into though this season of my life. So, I am grateful that this is in my life right now. James got it.

And, my beautiful, thoughtful wife, got me the Bible Experience, it's a dramatized version of the entire Bible on MP3's. Today, I listened to Genesis and I was enthralled. It is amazing to listen as the Word comes alive. It sure helps when the Spirit breathes on it too.
