Someone's probably mentioned this before, but I just discovered today that one of the pitchers for the Washington Nationals is a fellow by the name of Stephen Strasburg, who married a woman named Rachel in 2010.

My mom forwarded me an email from some Christian Writers organization, and one of the speakers was Torry Martin

Today I went to Star Trek Into Darkness and at the end Spock asked Kirk something like 'where are we going to go next' and what popped into my mind was the captain's line, "Over--there" from "Hidden in my Heart".

I know, when he asked it, I whispered the line in the theatre!EvangelineWalker wrote:Today I went to Star Trek Into Darkness and at the end Spock asked Kirk something like 'where are we going to go next' and what popped into my mind was the captain's line, "Over--there" from "Hidden in my Heart".

I'm sure there's been things like that with me, but the main time Odyssey comes into my life is strange. Very. I don't know how it happens, but with certain episodes or scenes, I can remember where I was at when I heard it. For example:
• The Other Side of the Glass had just began to play when we were leaving a certain store we shop at.
• The scene where Aubrey and Dr. Blackgaard's ghost see Jesus dying in Blackgaard's Revenge, Part 2, I was sitting in my vehicle in line waiting to get a chocolate malt at a local ice cream shop.
• The scene where Leonard collapses while helping Katrina with the dishes in A New Era, I was at a busy intersection in our town right next to a Phillips 66 gas station.
• The Other Side of the Glass had just began to play when we were leaving a certain store we shop at.
• The scene where Aubrey and Dr. Blackgaard's ghost see Jesus dying in Blackgaard's Revenge, Part 2, I was sitting in my vehicle in line waiting to get a chocolate malt at a local ice cream shop.
• The scene where Leonard collapses while helping Katrina with the dishes in A New Era, I was at a busy intersection in our town right next to a Phillips 66 gas station.

Coolness, TOJ.
Welllllll. Yesterday, we were at Walmart, and my sister and I glanced over at a large display in the middle of the isle. "LICORICE. Buy one for the price of two!" And we automatically thought: "Wooton and Bart!" Turns out the guy put the sign up wrong...

But I can only remember a few at the moment:
Where Eugene asks Katrina to marry him, I was driving down the road, and there was a tall fence and tall trees on one side, and tall trees on the side. (I believe I was in MI if I remember correctly)
Where Connie is playing the game with the Bricks and the Feathers, we were driving past a camp that a field where I could very easily imagine them playing the game.
During A Day in the Life, we were driving up through the mountains here.

I'm like that with so many things. It's interesting what kind of associations get made.
Driving through Spokane a couple months ago, we turned a particular corner near a mall, and I said "Screwtape... forks... proper forks are better...
She thinks that her forks are the proper type of forks. That's what sentence we listened to in the Screwtape Letters last time we turned this corner.

For some reason, I associate Album 47 (and "The Other Side of the Glass I-III, for some reason) with driving down hilly and then open road with my family, with grass on either side and a blue sky with really puffy, white cumulonimbus clouds. It was a few years ago, and also, if I recall correctly, the first time I heard some favorites of mine--like "Mum's the Word".

I always picture the scene where Dalton Kearn gets caught at the end of "The Top Floor" happening on this road with hills on both sides that I was riding in the car through while I was listening to the episode.

When the famous scene in The Present Long Ago that revealed that the grandmother was really Mandy and she was going to marry Trent, I was sitting in my parked car in our church parking lot, and my mind was practically blown.

I remember that! I think the first time I heard it, I was like seven or something, and my mom, brother and I were going to a blueberry farm to (what else?) pick some blueberries. It was a lovely, sunny Saturday morning, if I recall.

I get flashbacks of the most recent episodes I listened to when see some dishes I need to do because I listen to Odyssey when I do dishes. It's the only way I can stand it. Also I remember certain eps when I look at the room I painted or think of the time I painted my uncle's house--went through a lot of Odyssey episodes then.

Somebody mentioned "Clair de Lune" today, and I thought of Mrs. Wilson's music box in To Mend or Repair.

I'm reading Forbidden by Ted Dekker, and one place in the book is called Palatia.

Okay, I just remembered another one. My grandfather was telling me about how awkward he felt in a movie theatre to see The Passion after not going to one in about 30 years. He said, "I stuck out in there as much as a screen door on a submarine." I almost immediately thought, "That is a Bernard line."

I came to a revelation today. My grandfather is like an Odyssey conglomeration, and he doesn't even know it. When I got my braces off, he drove me to the orthodontist. I had a tooth that had been slightly yellowed in the process of the braces being on, and when I told him about it, he said, "They might have to do one of those coloring jobs. I got some spray paint," which made me think of Lawrence Hodges coloring his braces with lead-based paint in Subject Yourself.
