So recently there has been a lot of talk about me building some margin into my life and I would like to tell you that I have made great strides in that area but that might be a stretch. Except, this week, Sondra and I have been on vacation. After spending a little time with my friends at World Changers and their worship leaders this summer, Sondra and I climbed in the car and headed east. Our first stop was in Maryville, TN to see our friends the Kooch's. Wonderful friends who used to live in Nashville and moved to the Knoxville area and we have kept in touch with them over the years.
On Sunday, we headed to Florence, SC and stayed a couple of days with Tom and Georgina Carringer. Other friends of ours who used to live in Nashville but Tom is a big shot at ACS now and they are based in Florence. We enjoyed seeing them and Jacob and Denise and their three, Malachi, Zeke and Fiona. All three of the kids were great to be around and so were their parents. It was great to catch up with all of them.
On Tuesday, Sondra and I climbed in the car and headed further east to Pawley's Island in the rain. In fact, we had quite a bit of rain that lasted through Weds afternoon. We did manage to see The Avengers 3D since it was raining alot. Sondra did a little shopping and I did a lot of looking around in the mall we hung out in for awhile. On Thursday and Friday, we were beach bums at Huntington State Park. Like 7 and 8 hours on the beach kind of beach bums. We soaked up a lot of sun, each read alot and I wrestled the paper edition of USA Today on the windy beach just to be in touch with the old way of reading a paper. It was a great time of just hanging out together.
