A Day at the Beach


What do you think of when you think about going to the beach for the day. I think about wearing shorts and a bathing suit, feeling hot, swimming, ice cream on the boardwalk.... We went to the beach on Saturday and it was nothing like the above picture. I guess that's the difference between going to the beach in England and going to Atlantic City in New Jersey. But either way, it can be fun and we had a fun day. We took two coaches (around 70 folks) of ladies and families from the English classes at church as well as some random church folks and moms and kids from our kids' clubs at church. I'm not sure I took my sweat shirt off for more than five minutes and never even thought about putting my shorts on. But we enjoyed each other, played games, chatted, and walked along the beach. Paul and I took our kites and the kids enjoyed them (and even some of the adults). We won't have classes again until September but pray that God will give us opportunities to run into these ladies on the street or in the park and give us words to say that will be a clear testimony of God and His love for them.

Wish we could have been there too, although I do prefer warm beach (but not too hot!) to freezing beach (which we have here sometimes too, believe it or not!) :)
