Soul Surfer

It was great seeing my college buddy again after 30 years. He and his wife stayed with us over the weekend and did a little catching up. Come to find out , his daughter was one of the Producers of the surf movie Soul Surfer. I figured we should watch it since we had an affiliation with it.
Not a dry eye for family movie night. If you haven't seen it, go rent or buy it. It's one of those you want to keep in the family library of films. Then you get to the end credits and Brit Nicoles powerful song comes in..see the youtube link

Enjoying Today

One of the things I very much enjoyed both as a kid spending my summers in Minnesota, and living in the south the past three years was the feeling of being close to God and in His presence. How? Just by being on the lookout all around me.

Sometimes we are just to enjoy today, together with Him enjoying both the pleasures and enduring the pain today’s difficulties bring. Learn to enjoy everything he’s prepared for us; stunning scenery, winds of adventure, nooks for resting when you get weary and so much more.

He is our guide, our constant companion, and He knows every step we take on the road ahead. As long as we stay close to His side, we are on course. Don’t worry about what is around the corner, just concentrate on enjoying His presence and staying in step...
