Back and Thankful and Not Sunburned (or Tanned, Of Course)
» S.D. Smith
Well my family (including me) is back from vacation (I is back). It was a grand week. Sorry about all those Disney World posts last week. From the feedback I received upon my return I am guessing that the thrills generated by those posts were not exactly trans-atmospheric. But I’ll probably lay some more out from time to time just for the sake of My Stubbornpride, a very close friend of mine who I try to look out for no matter what.
On vacation I did not go to Disney World (because, duh, I want to live). I went to a place where no other rednecks from West Virginia ever go: Myrtle Beach.
It really was an amazing week, where God was merciful to us in many ways and showed us some incredible things. We had a blast together. There was a lot of time to spend with the kids making these cool things called memories. God allowed us to do all the things we planned to, and there were lots of fun surprises as well. I love my wife more than ever.
Seems like some revelation of wisdom should be fired off at this point starting with “On vacation God taught me that…” but really I just feel gratitude and am aiming to direct that gratitude (and help lead my family to do the same) in a Godward direction.
God is good. He makes amazing and awesome things (the ocean –no big deal to him). He is deserving of gratitude and glory. Let it all be his.

Glad you got away and had a God-glorifying, wonderful time — but also glad you’re back!

You got back just in time. The cows are out and the artichokes need weedin’. So get off your duff, don your straw hat, and head off to the back forty.
Glad to hear you didn’t get eaten by sharks.

[...] but about vacations. My friend Sam just got back from a vacation with his family, and his post about it was beautiful. Seems like some revelation of wisdom should be fired off at this point [...]
