I'm Baaaack! God Blessed my wife and I with a wonderful vacation! For us it was close to perfect that we could get. I will not bore you with the details of our traveloge, but instead say that I am grateful to God that I can take this time with my wife a couple of times a year. For there was a time when I could barely afford the gas to go and see family for a day or two, much less take a real vacation. If you are there now, do not ever give up hope in God that He does not want this for you, keep trusting in Him and living for Him. There was one time during our week when I found myself quoting my dad. We had rented a pontoon boat for the day to enjoy on the lake and mid afternoon as we were viewing the beauty of God's creation, I uttered a phrase my dad would often say while we would be fishing on Lake Mead in Nevada, I kicked back in my captain's chair and said, "I wonder what the rich people are doing today!" For as far as I was concerned they couldn't be enjoying life anymore then I was at that point in time. Thank you Jesus for this "Kodiak Moment" for me and for the blessing of this Sabbath time. Love Ya' All Pastor Rick
