Still First and Only
This is us, Bob and Becky, the first minute as husband and wife on the River Rail street car. (Number 411) The date was November 11th, 2006. For the ceremony the car, full of family and friends, was stopped at the top of the bridge over the Arkansas River. The folks at River Rail were very kind to allow us to be married on one of their cars. We are the first, and so far only, people to be married on the River Rail.
I am an advocate for the River Rail Line. Our home is an easy lob wedge from stop number 6. But, this is nothing to be compared to my advocacy of the institution of marriage. Married to Becky, I am restored. What a concept! The quaint, old timey trolley bumping along like old fashioned marriage. Some people will pooh-pooh marriage. Some will pooh-pooh the trolley. Some of that pooh-poohing will sink to plain, ugly hatred. All you haters I'm sorry for you- just go on down the road in peace. Love and faith in the supreme, the self and for others is the principle restoration project. Life issues from the human heart. When love and faith govern, all that is seen is new, ever growing and developing. Love is the ultimate source of all power and is ever presently available to us all for transformation, for RESTORATION!
