Tonight I write just footsteps away from Ledo Beach, a paradise in it’s own mind. The faint sound of live music is playing from a restaurant nearby as I sit perched five floors above the ocean. Tonight the air is chilly and breezy but after a brutal week of colds in Pennsylvania, I’ll take fifty degrees. This place carries with it so much peace, and I look forward to laying back and soaking in this time of refreshment and reflection. I’m determined to keep my thoughts and attitudes clinging to grace and peace throughout the next week.
My parents and I arrived just one hour ago after nearly an entire day in the car. It's nice to stretch out and walk around. I walked out to the beach moments ago to take in the last of what appeared to be an incredible sunset.
The ocean always reminds me of God’s power and creative energy that fuels the entire world. He’s created this incredible array of life that spans across the universe and with the same creative energy He uniquely designed every being, including myself. It’s humbling and at the same time it fills me with an amazing joy. Knowing that we are all built with the utmost love and care becomes blatantly obvious sitting on a beach filled with a creative life everywhere my eyes lead. I want to spend this week reflecting on the creative power that comes with a life in Christ.

E-N-J-O-Y!! How wonderful to be able to sit and BE! I hope you are refreshed through and through this week. You give so much to others, although you may not always realize it. Be blessed with all good things for the next 168 hours.
Peace from Lancaster Ave.
