Well, it’s my last journal entry for the
month. I had hoped to come up with
something profound.
It’s my last journal entry for the
year. I had hoped to come up with
something deep and meaningful.
It’s my last journal entry for the
decade. I had hoped to come up with
something downright awesome.
My best shot?
Jesus is still Lord. He’s still the most important thing in my
life, and Chris comes in a very close second.
Seaside is doing really well. Holding strong in attendance, but especially
in loving each other so the world can know they are disciples of Jesus.
We’ve had some spotty health days,
especially with the flu bug in the last few weeks, but all in all, the family
is healthy and appears to be happy.
We saw a thousand plus people attend Seaside’s
Easter sunrise service on the beach. Included
baptisms in the Gulf. Great volunteer
assistance from the police, fire department and the whole community.
We went on our first ever cruise. Alaska.
A bucket list trip for sure, and it lived up to its spot there. And we’re scheduled to leave on our second cruise
in a few weeks. The Panama Canal. That one is definitely in a bucket
somewhere. We’ll see how it turns out.
We got to see a bona fide miracle when our
37 year old friend had a massive heart attack.
But he “just happened” to be in a bed at the ER at the time. He’s back home now, working on his lifestyle
changes.
High points. Those are what are affectionately known as “high
points.” Lots of other cool stuff
happened with grandkids and church family and … just stuff. But I guess I should include just one
more. I woke up again today. There’s that …
Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, “He has made everything beautiful in its
time. He has also set eternity in the
human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”
Father, that’s an amazing verse for the end
of a year. And a great promise for the start
of another one. Thank you. Amen.
