One of my very favorite things in life is...
loading everyone up in the car on a beautiful evening and heading for the beach. Eating a simple dinner in the sand, watching my kids splash in the waves, taking in the golden glow that the sun casts across the beach as it starts its descent... and then, the glorious sunset. I am continually amazed at the brilliant colors of the sky as the sun sinks down into the sea... and the unique beauty of a sunset. A gift. For us.
I want to believe that Fall is not quite here yet... even though the pencil marks on my calendar show otherwise. But I hope that if a free evening comes along... that I might remember, and have the energy, to head down to the beach again before Spring. Because when my toes are covered in sand, and the sky is alive with the colors of the setting sun... breathing seems a bit easier and God feels a little closer to my heart.

That's beautiful. It's something that I've never seen. Where I am, the sun rises on the beach.
Dawn, I could have written that last sentence myself. I feel the EXACT same way. I hope you have that free evening (and the energy) to head down to the beach again...

Your words were so complete that you didn't even need the wonderful picture. I read your post to my wife and she said "Now I want to go to the beach!" Of course the Pacific is only, what, 2,000 miles away?
