"And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." -Genesis 1.............all this, spoken into existence. there is no doubt in my mind.....we serve a wild God.

footprints




when you venture into the wilderness, it's nice to know there's a God who's bigger standing at your side....

False Cape

Over this weekend, Jon Shealy and I went
trudging into the marsh wilderness of the Virginia coastline. The Lord's glory in creation was all around. Although the locals [wildlife] were quiet for the most part, we ran into a few of my friends from my church in richmond....fairly random, but pretty cool.

For a sense of peace, there are few better things than to wake up at the rising of the sun to the sound of waves washing onto a sandy shoreline. While the sun rose, I sat and watched the sand crabs cautiously make their way across the beach, the larger ones waiting for just the right moment, between flocks of sandpipers, to make their way to the ocean. Our neighbors in campsite 9 enjoyed traveling in packs and playing horseshoes. Neighbors in campsite 8 did not enjoy the mosquitos in campsite 12...that's how they became out neighbors. Both chose to rise early and hike out. Jon and I then enjoyed a peaceful pancake breakfast followed by frisbee and a passing rainshower. A brisk walk back to the car and a dip in the water ended our stay in False Cape.
We'll be back.....but on wheels next time.

Enjoy the photos!
