According to Kris, Mom has this really bad picture framed of us(Kris and I). For this reason Kristen was militant that we get a good picture together...Instead of boring you with our MANY attempts, I will just post a few pics.
One of our first of many attempts.
We met a man who "gifted" us this house. I don't really believe it was his to give. Bummer. I guess there is still some work to do, huh Dad? (I am sure you could get a steal on it!)
This is the little church on the hilltop that looked enchanting. We tried every single dirt path we could find to drive, but they all led to locked gates. We talked about climbing up to the church but it was really hot and we were pretty sure it was illegal...and it was REALLY HOT.
A view of the undeveloped coast line. Much to the dismay of those a part of the quiet little town, rumors are flying that contractors are moving in to build condominiums and housing developments.
On the way home, Kristen and I were talking about the beauty that God has created. How can you look at a vast sea and comprehend it? Can just looking at it change you? How long do you stand at the edge of the sea, marvelling at the beauty before it affects you? If this is what God has created for this temporal world, I can't even begin to understand the unbelievable scenes of our eternal home. It reminded me of lyrics of a song I listened to in high school, sadly I can't remember many of the words, but one segment of the song repeats in my mind as I look upon God's creation.
Carolyn Arends talks to God in her song, "There You Are."
"I was hoping you would write to me a message in the stars,
As if the stars themselves were not enough."
Lots of love,
