The Beach
There is something calming about the beach. No phone, no internet, no music - because, for me, music can be one of my greatest distractions. Just me, a book, my journal, lots of sunscreen, a refreshing drink and gorgeous sunshine!
This morning I was scheduled to lead worship AND preach as our pastor is away on vacation. At exactly 12 noon, as I said the final "Amen", I was officially commitment free! While it's true that vacations and time away requires commitment, it's just not the same as the regular, daily "life" stuff. Obviously reflected while I sat on a beach today slathered in sunscreen!
In my previous post I failed to mention that one of my vacation goals is to be near a different beach or body of water for at least a couple of hours each day. Last Sunday I landed at Port Dover and today I enjoyed Turkey Point - and by "enjoyed" I mean... wow! What a wonderful day at the beach! Even with a (very high) UV index of nine! I'm also planning to visit Port Dalhousie, Hamilton Bay and Grand Bend this week. Once I land cross the border next weekend I will be staying near the Mississippi River - which I plan to visit daily.
