"Spring the Blog Break"
It looks like my Spring Break turned in to a blog break as well. We had a full week with work and play. We took time to get our pool and patio back in shape. With my solar heat turned on, a brand new solar blanket for the pool, our pool temperature is now in the low 90’s. Any body for a swim?
My friend of over 40 years came down with his son from South Carolina. We ended up playing 27 holes of golf and with the help of 2 good friends at church; we got in a round of surf fishing on the Kennedy Space Center beach. We caught a few blues which we used for bait, hooked in to a couple of sharks but were unable to land them, and we brought in one huge sting ray.
We took one day out to visit the campus of Palm (http://www.pba.edu/) Beach Atlantic University, a non-denominational Christian College that Steven and 2 of his friends are considering attending in the Fall. PBA is a beautiful campus on the inter-coastal waterway in Palm Beach.
Perhaps the highlight of the week (other than all of you, friend and foe missing me) was a late night that went to 1:30 in the morning. Two very passionate about their faith young men, asked if they could sit down with me and study a subject that those of our tribe tend either to avoid or quickly shut down – healing. We sat in our living-room with open Bibles and discussed this subject and others as well. I was reminded of two verses in 2nd Timothy:
2nd Timothy 2:22 - Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2nd Timothy 3:16-17 - All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that all God's people may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
May we all pursue Scripture with the passion of youth.

Sounds like a great week all the way around, Cecil.
Greg's right about the late nights, though. I can still stay up late going strong, but it takes forever now to get back to "normal" afterward.
These old bones just don't crank it back up like they used to.

Dee - You're so right. Even at "our age" we can get in some semblance of "shape" but you just can't do much about the "old bones not cranking back up." :)
