Hey everyone. I just got back from a vacation that took me from the mountains of WV to Lake Erie of Ohio. It was awesome waking up seeing the mountains surround you as well as it was nice to see the waves of Lake Erie. God is so diverse and has created such a beautiful earth. I can only imagine how beautiful the New Earth will be when all things are made right and the effects of sin will not be present.

We had several events that turned us to God besides the beautiful landscape. Traveling to WV we passed a man lying on the side of the road. It is always a risk stopping to help someone in the day and time in which we live. But we stopped. We thought the man might be dead. We said a short prayer. I got out and started running back toward him and called 911. By the time I got to him and volunteer fire fighter showed up. The man was barely alive. When I got back int he car we prayed for him and went on.

We also had a time with illnesses. It seems like every vacation someone gets sick. This time it was a little more serious. Samuel actually got Pneumonia. We had to stay the night at Davis Memorial Hospital in Elkins WV. It turned out to be a good time for Samuel and I. We spent some quality time with each other. It was also a time of trusting God with Samuel’s situation.

We finally made it back home…and you know what? It is good to be home! I feel like Dorothy taping her red shoes…there is no place like home. It also makes me realize that we should feel that same way about Heaven…which will be our final and enless vacation with God someday. What a vacation that will be!!!!!
