We experienced our first beach party of 2007! God must have known the majestic beauty of the ocean would offer such tranquility. I always leave the beach with a smile on my face, and Mark and I will usually make a comment about how refreshed and relaxed we feel.

The above words range clear as we were driving home. My favorite part was simply talking to everyone, seeing Sheldon and the boys swimming and laughing, and feeling the cool sand on my bare feet. (Yes, I can take off my high-heels and enjoy being shoeless!) Then we sat around the bonfire, roasted marshmellows, and made fantabulistic smores! To sum it up, the evening was picture-perfect. I am looking forward to the next beach party!

Quote for My Day

This week is fading rather quickly. I cannot believe tomorrow is Friday. I am sure over the weekend I will think of something to blog about. For now, here is a scripture to ponder:

Better a bread crust shared in love than a slab of prime rib served in hate. (Prov. 15:17, The Message Bible.)

Mother's Day 2007

Mother's Day at the Pentecostals of O.C. was quite remarkable. I was truly touched by the presentation that Philana prepared, and I would like to share it with you. A great big THANK YOU to everyone for making my Mother's Day so memorable. God bless you!!!

Oh, What Fun

Soon we will be heading home, but it has been fun hanging out with the Allards and seeing friends. Sheldon and I have had a time just being "Lazy." He has also enjoyed spending time with Blake and Bryn. On Bryn's door she has a sign that says, "No, boys allowed accept Sheldon." I got a great laugh over this. It is always a great joy to see these three together. Mark has been engaged in meetings, but I believe all of us are refreshed and ready to return home. This morning I also spoke with a fellow blogger, Sis. Buxton. She is so sweet. Well, I'll have to end here. I just got word that the business meetings have concluded. Now, we can go for lunch and continuing having a blast!
