There is so much coming up before the fall arrives. We are working to nail down airfare for the mission trip to Vancouver in February. We have hit the ground running on nailing down a location for out stateside summer mission trip. We have a pool party for the children's ministry on Saturday and staff planning retreat the first part of next week. When I sit down to think about why I don't blog more often, I quickly see why. Nevertheless, here is another long awaited entry.
One of the trips we took was to Charleston, SC. Probably one of the greatest cities on earth-no hyperbole either, I am serious. We only had a couple of days there, but it was great. Smelling the ocean and walking in the history-fantastic. The neatest part was watching my daughter see it for the first time and look at everything with wonder. Hopefully we'll take her to the SC State Fair this fall and we are going to line up a trip to an apple farm for the kids at church. With her being older, it will be fun to watch her reactions.
I wonder if God watched Adam and Eve like an excited new parent as they discovered the garden of Eden and took everything in. I wonder if He found joy in their amazement and wonder at His creation before the fall.
