This past weekend. We had the pleasure of my sister and her family's company at Ocean Isle Beach, NC. Let me tell you. I love going to the beach.
My first trip was in 2001 on a whim with James to Kure Beach, NC. Well, unless you count the time in '84 when my dad took us to Coney Island, but my mother made sure we didn't go anywhere near the sand or water(yuck).
Anyway, this annual trip is now a tradition. Hope to add more family next year.
One of the reasons James liked coming to Ocean Isle this year(usually, it's Myrtle Beach, SC), is that there is a church service right on the beach Sunday mornings. I was a little reluctant to go because I wanted to sleep more. However James was insistent- (insert Stern/yet loving man voice here)church doesn't stop just because you go on vacation. I agree, and it was a great service. The Gospel was preached. I pray that the Holy Spirit opened some one's eyes to the Cross of Christ, the Good News.
So just pondering now the things I want to accomplish or have in place by the end of this year:
- Pray more. More quiet time for prayer
- Read Bible. The Gospels
- Read Barclay's(sp) book on The Letter to the Romans
- Organize the new house better. We will only be there 6-8 months, but it will help
- Organize our finances, bills, and budget better
- Last but not least. Ad nauseum...Eat healthier.
