Good way to make use out of bottle caps eh?

I like.

Also like this quote from Through Painted Deserts which I started reading last night...

It's a living book this life; it folds out in a million settings, cast a billion beautiful characters, and it is almost over for you. It doesn't matter how old you are; its coming to a close quickly, and soon the credits will roll and all your friends will fold out of your funeral and drive back to their homes in cold and still silence. And they will make a fire and pour some wine and think about how you once were...
So soon you will be in that part of the book where you are holding the bulk of the pages in your left hand, and only a thin wisp of the story in your right. you will know by the page count, not by the narrative, that the Author is wrapping things up. You begin to mourn its ending, and want to pace yourself slowly toward its closure, knowing the last lines will speak something beautiful , of the end of something long and earned, and you hope the thing closes out like the last breaths, like whispers about how much and who the characters have come to love, and how authentic the sentiments feel when they have earned a hundred pages of qualification.
...We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and the resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out wouldn't it?
It might be time for you to go. It might be time for you to change, to shine out...And you will not be alone. you have never been alone. Don't worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed.
