a welcomed escape

I spent the extended weekend here:
We go ever year for the 4th of July weekend. I like it for a variety of reasons.
  • God's creative work is on full display every morning and evening
  • The stars that far removed from the bright lights are something to behold
  • Quiet mornings with plenty of solitary places to study, read, and pray.
  • I love my family including the "extendeds"
  • Swimming, skiing, floating on rafts, and other water ventures are wonderful.
  • The water is clean, clear, and fresh
  • Eleven people (3 of them under the age of two) staying in a 2-and-1/2-room-with-1-bathroom-cottage is full of adventure
  • Lots of food for every stomach and taste-bud
  • Seneca Farms ice cream
  • Bonfires every night with or without cheap fireworks/flares.
This year was a bit different seeing as I spent of good portion of weekend studying Hebrew. Regardless, it was another wonderful weekend filled with fellowship along with physical and spiritual refreshment.

A great start to a soon-to-be very busy July.
