Hi!
Thank you, thank you for spending
a little time with me here. A new year brings with it opportunity
for adventure. Whether you're dry-docked for restoration and
replenishment, feeling the tug that's pulling you away from the
dock, or you're already out sailing the seas, I wish you God's
best in 2011.
My theme for the new year?
Embrace. Embrace Jesus. Embrace loved ones. Embrace opportunities
to serve others. Embrace life. "A time to embrace."
Ecclesiastes 3:5
And for me . . . reading is an
important part of the adventure.
Here's what I've
been reading . . .
DEVOTIONALS
Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace
In His Presence, Sarah Young
My Utmost for His Highest

HISTORICAL FICTION
The Fire in Ember by DiAnn

Me on the Indian Ocean at Zanzibar.
Looking for dolphins. Finding choppy waves.
