We had a BLAST. We ran the 6th leg, which is the last to start. That being, we had some extra time at the condo in the morning before we had to be at our start point. We were standing on the balcony in the early morning, watching and listening to the ocean as the sun was starting to peak over the waves. There is something really amazing about the ocean, isn't there? It commands respect with its huge and awesome power. I was telling Alia that one of my favorite memories of the ocean is from when we lived in California. Gannon was about 2 and his favorite word was "Alrighty!" Don't ask me where he got it, but that is what he responded to every question. Anyways, I started thinking that God gave us the ocean because we have a hard time fathoming how huge it is, how deep and powerful, and He is even bigger than THAT! What a comparison!
Well, our family took a trip to the coast. We camped a lot, and a trip to the beach was involved every single time. Gordon took this video of Gannon, and I think it completely encompasses what we should feel for God...JOY, overwhelming Joy, but a healthy fear and respect. It just blows my mind that God gives us parallels like this.
Ladies and Gents, I give you Gannon and the Ocean...
