Vacation

I am leaving for vacation on Sunday, July 26th. I can't wait. I am a big fan of vacation.

From my early childhood, vacation has always been a big deal to me. Every summer it was Daytona Beach, FL. It seems like my other home in so many ways. We made so many memories and every time I return there my mind runs wild remembering all of them.

I left home over twenty years ago but vacation is still a big deal to me. I love being with the family (Dad, Mom, brothers, sister-in-laws, and their kids). We can really make some noise when we show up in any town.

This year will be no different as we head to Myrtle Beach, SC for a week of fun in the sun. We came across a great resort for a great price. It includes golf everyday. That will keep me busy. Then we head to Pigeon Forge for a couple of days of camping. The Smoky Mountains is my third home away from home. Lots of memories there also.

I plan on resting, reading, swimming, laughing and resting. Vacations are good for me. They give me a renewed energy that helps me hang in there a little while longer. I am thankful I can go away and leave the church where I pastor in good hands. I will not worry or fret. The great staff and families will take care of things.

I may or may not post anything while away. After all, it's vacation. But I will catch you up when I return. Until then, keep moving forward! It is the only way to live!
