No Place Like Home!

We really enjoyed our vacation together. I love to travel with Julie - we have so much fun together. But, as with anything, all good things come to end sooner or later. And, getting sick on the last day of the cruise really helped me be ready to come home. I love my house and my bed and my kids (although Julie and I were eating breakfast today cracking up at how loud our kids are.

We got to see a lot of really cool sites that just reinforce to me what an awesome and creative God we have. For some reason I really wanted to see a whale on this trip - just thought that would really be cool. Kept looking for them throughout the week and mentioned to Julie (who kept telling me that whale season doesn't start til December sometime. So Thursday morning I went to one of the deserted lounges where I had my quiet time while peering out over the ocean and was reading through several passages in Psalms. After re-reading Psalm 37, I prayed my hearts desires to God and spent time thanking him for all He has done for me and my family, and just praising him for all of his beautiful creation.

Later that day, God gave me one of those small hearts desires...
I saw what seemed like an endless line of whales spouts in a long line like a train. Ran up to the room to grab my camera, and Julie... Here's a couple shots - click for close-up.



Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
