Weekend Getaway with the Harris Family

Last week we spent the weekend at Sea Ranch (about 3 hours north of the bay area); our friends the Harris' have a family vacation home there and they kindly invited us for another "spontaneous" weekend getaway. Not only was the company delightful, but the scenery breathe taking. I had an opportunity to get away one morning to get alone with God while sitting right at the edge of the cliffs; as the powerful waves crash onto the rocks and upon the shore, I was witnessing a glimpse of the power of God.

The week prior, Mike spoke on the freedom we have in Christ; in that message, he mentioned that even creation will find freedom when the new heaven and earth will come - creation will be freed from the affects of sin. How will that look as I gazed on this magnificent scene? If I thought what I was witnessing at this moment to be grand and good, how much more in the new earth! How I long to see this, but more to be with Christ. Until then, He allows us to enjoy creation.





Sometimes it's better no to know where or what my husband is doing; as you can see above, he and Scott are fishing on the side of a very tall cliff. At least they caught 2 fishes.

We couldn't tell what type of fish they caught, but it was good!!!
