Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Fun in the Sun

What a great day we had today!  Michael and Jessica rented a pontoon boat for the 9 of us + one canine for 8 hours.  We left the house at 8:55 for our 9:00 appointment.  Michael and Jessica live on the hill overlooking Guntersville Lake and the boat house was basically at the bottom of their hill.  We also had the use of a float for tubing for the kids.  The plan was to do some tubing and swimming in the lake until lunch time.  Then we would dock the boat and pick up food from DQ to eat.  Then hop back on the boat and head out for some more tubing and swimming.  It was a delightful day.  It was actually hot in the sun.  We slathered the sunscreen on like crazy!  We also took drinks and snacks, but mostly everyone was too busy having fun or taking pictures of the fun! 

Here are some of the great pictures I got:

Later in the evening, after supper and after playing corn hole, we lit a fire in the pit and roasted a few marshmallows.  But, mostly we just enjoyed sitting around the fire.






Yes, Indeed!  A very fun day!
