"God ... gives us richly all things to enjoy" - 1 Tim. 6:17

So, here's a little good, wholesome fun to break up the at times ultra-seriousness of this blog.  After all, God is great, and God is fun!  His Word says He gives us Life---and that more abundantly!  Really, "to live is Christ"---life in Christ is real living.  Things like fishing, boating at the lake, tubing and skiing with the kids, would lack the fulness of meaning without the Lord in the picture.

Getting an opportunity to spend a little "family time" at Canyon Lake (New Braunfels, Texas) with a boat we procurred for the price of our JetSki (anyone want to buy it?), we have enjoyed time with Luke and Karlien and their little 3-yr old girl (my grandaughter) Guyon; our son Caleb (his first baby Aubrey) and Shanice and Marley, her 5yr-old); Sarah and Cade Oliver (Melody's children), my first 2 grandchildren; their friend Olivia, etc.  

And it's been a blast ... even when wearing you out -ha! I can't believe I waited so late in life to get a boat. You can do so much more with family and friends than with a JetSki!  Hollis learned to water-ski, but the kids really love the tube---flying into the air and falling off.  Their Papa?  Not so much!  Here's a little video captured on the girls' phones of my "near death experience"--haha!
