Tybee Island

Friday May 7th 2010


Good evening salty sea smell, today I and my fellow travelers made our way to your shore where we ran into the south side beach. We are staying on the island of Tybee George, Where, we will be staying for 7 days. We drove in about 7:30 pm. Sleep has now come to visit after a long day of driving.

Today, we went to the beach brought a blue umbrella, and spent time hanging out on the beach. I read, and also got a bit burnt. The tide was way low this morning and there were lots of shells, and jelly fish all over where the water had left. My house mate got stung once, and she said it hurt pretty well, but soon passed. Despite, it seems all the sleep I’m getting, I am still really tired. Maybe the sun is making me sleepy. Today we rented bikes and road for a really long time.

We spent another day riding our bikes all around the Island. The marshes here are so beautiful and they have very thick grasses. The pine trees are large, and tower into the sky. Some times they are so many, their needles blanket the place where they are. The smell of pine is strong and good. As we have been here the pattern has been to play on the beach or ride about the island in the morning. Come home for lunch take a rest, and then hit the bikes again to take to the beach. On this day though we headed out to ride to a new part of the beach and then went to a few souvenir shops, after that we decided to eat at a sea side restaurant called spank’s. It was nice to just sit up on the patio and take in the sea and eat sea food. After lunch we biked home and took our usual quite and rest time. After which we packed up dinner into a cooler bag, and biked to the big pear. We walked to the end of it which seemed to me to be half a mile across too the end. It comes out past the waves more into the ocean. We ate our dinner and watched the fisher men fish. After finishing up we stood and watched the dolphins play, the pelicans too. We laughed as we watched the Pelicans dive for there food into the water. They were so graceful and sure of their attach posture.

Today, we road out on our bikes early, and found the part of the beach where the sandy dunes hide the beach from view until you hike past them. The waves were bigger today, and there were less Jelly fish in the water. More people were swimming and there were less people on the beach it’s self. We played a game of beach bocce, and built a sea grass beach fort. I took a long walk on the sand and found the bathroom near the middle of the hike, which was a good thing sense I was about ready to pee in my pants. I hiked back to where we were, and sat and listened to the waves for about 45 min. longer We packed up then and came back to our little beach house stead. Lunch was good, and I kept hearing critters in the bushes around the house. On a few occasions I saw what they were some mice, a snake, and some birds.

Working hard resting well.

It is a blessed day, when one doesn’t have to be woken up by an alarm. The best feeling is the one where you slowly stir out of the dream and gain awareness of the place where you are. Your eyes have not yet let in the first light of the day and you lay there taking in an awaken passé of breathing. The best feeling is knowing that you don’t have to get out of bed at a rush and you don’t have to rush to the bathroom or rush to take a shower or get dressed. The best part of a day off is when you’ve worked hard the two previous days, and therefore are even more grateful to go slow and take in a day of your own speed.

Brick Wall

Oh coffee, today you are not doing much to help with the heavy eye lids threatening to ruin any chance of being productive. For days now I haven't been able to shake this brick wall of my body. I think I need a jack hammer anyone got one? If so I could use a hand pulverizing some brick.

Beautiful Family!

I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, Because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.             Philemon 1: 4-7 This past weekend, I had a taste of what I know in my heart Our God has in mind for us as his creation, a taste of something good. My beautiful family, Oh how rich I feel after being in fellowship with them younger or older they may be. I feel full, and yet filled with longing too, a longing for the day when we will be made new in every way. As I think of our time this weekend together, I realize in my heart that there were so many things about the time that were not perfect, many dynamics of family that have a...
