On the fifth day of our stay on Tybee Island!

Day 5 on our stay on Tybee Island of corse starts with a good breakfast at breakfast club.  Today i brought along some reinforcements for breakfast.  Lynne and I are thinking about visiting the inside of the light house on the south side of the island.   I think it's one of my favoret light houses.  On the boat ride yesterday, we saw moma dolphins with their baby's and pelicans diving for food.  All of us had a good time.  Now Lynne and Rebecca are thinking about renting a jet ski, Ben and I said we would take pictures if they did that.  I think we have now began talking about a trip to Savannah and the Jazz Corner, yippy, I like Savannah.  

Well we didn't get to Savannah today, because we were all extremely tired and needed to take a nap when we woke we headed to the ice-cream and sweet shop. After  that we got hush puppies from AJ's and then walked to the
Beach,at this point it was dark and the moon was full and beautiful over the sea.  Lynne and I took pictures from the life guard chair.  They turned out well.  I found the timer on my camera,and, positioned the lens on Lynne Ben and Rebecca who were standing just under the moon in line with the reflection on the waves. Then I pressed the button and counted as I ran down to stand next to them. on the way down I fell down in the sand but popped up and kept running and made it just in time to get a really great photo.  Lynne did the same with here camera we got some really awesome shots.  Lots of fun, and lots of laughing happened in the process.  The sand was cool and the night was warm the breeze was strong off the ocean and tastes of salt.  The moon gave some of our pictures the illusion of a sun set because it was so bright. We walked back to the cottage and are now about to call it a day. Thanks for a good day God!, and the photo opp!

camp fires

why is it that when there is a camp fire, I can't seem to stop staring into the flame? I always wonder that every Autumn when it's time to build camp fires and roast marshmallows, and hot dogs. It is my favorite time of the year though, and I get exited and lonely and peaceful and restless all at the same time. I get exited to see the leaves turn colors, and for the temperature to be cooler, I get lonely and long to share the season with someone, that someone being a husband. At the same time I find myself feeling a sense of peace, and calm, and at other times I feel restless, a longing for a new adventure. All of these thoughts went through my mind this evening as I sat next to the fire, with the brother and sister hood of the fellowship of the bride singing songs laughing, throwing marshmallow it was great fun. Thank you Father for the joy there is in being a part of your family.

wounded hearts

This weekend God spoke to my heart through my housemates, and through some ideas from Dr. Dan B.Allender and his book The wounded Heart, it was about the truth of a people who are wounded, and out of our wound we wound others. Part of our story of redemption is the wounds we have suffered, or inflicted along the way. To avoid the truth of those wounds, is to not tell the whole story of grace, and it doesn't allow us to be real with one another, or heal. As Christ's people lets be a people who really enters into the wounds that have been inflicted by the sin in our world with one another. Let's listen to each others real stories, and enter in with our brothers and sisters. I think that God has called us to that, I think this, because he entered into the pain of this world with us in the life of Jesus Christ. Thank you father for your presents all the time, thank you. Amen.

wet pavement.

Remember that song we used to sing when we were kids, the one we sang when we wanted to go frolic in the out doors but we didn't because it was raining. Rain rain go away come again some other day. Or the one about the old man, It's raining it's poring the old man is snoring, he got out of bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning. Why did we sing those songs, I mean what happen to the old man? I remember, a few times, during the summer when I was a kid my parents would let us play in the rain. This sounds strange I think, but I like the smell of wet pavement, and I used to lay on it face up eyes closed, every other sense awake. The side walk would be warm from the summer sun of the day, and the rain falling on me would be cool. I remember thinking this is so beautiful God. To know God, is to really experience life, in a vivid sort of way, to have every sense, AWAKE.
