End of Vacation Thoughts

Today is the last day of vacation here in incredible Visalia, Ca. I thought I would share some of my thoughts from the past two weeks...

Camping is the perfect place for toddlers who like to make a mess and me not have to worry about it.

Phones cannot swim in pools. Nor can they survive a from a dip in the pool. No, not my iPhone...Holly's phone.

Hiking is for people with nothing to do. You can drive to the top and if you can't do that just buy the dvd.

Anytime 18 people get together for anything for a sustained period of time...there's bound to be "entertainment".

Holly can eat smores like that guy who swallows hot dogs for a living.

Life without tv is preferable...life without the internet...wellllll.

When Costco is the only fun thing to do in a town...make it happen...it's better than jail.

Coke is of the devil.

The Lord always seems to withdraw for a period of time while I'm on vacation...it seems to be becoming a theme...I think He wants me to just rest.

Jared Anderson may be my artist in America right now. (Check out "Coming Your Way" on Youtube...spectacular)

Sleeping in the same room as your kids for 2 weeks is a spiritual discipline...that I may not possess.

Vacation is where I visit...not where I live. I love my job.

I am a gift to my wife. Perhaps the best she's ever received besides salvation. What a sec..I may have gotten that backwards...Holly is the best gift I have ever received besides salvation.

I love spending time with my kids...especially when we are all laughing.

When two people come together before God in agreement with his will...awesome things happen. Legacies are created. Inheritances are built up.

All vacations come to an end...Thank God. Back to work manana. Can't wait.
