Thank you: Day 2 Cabo San Lucus, Mexico

We're enjoying time away with Julie's Sister Mel, her husband Tony, and their son Taylor (playing in the waves with Natalie). We have only been on a trip like this one other time in our lives (for our 30th Wedding Anniversary). Julie was excited to get her first "stamp" in her first-ever passport on our way here.

This seems like an odd time for us to be gone, but arrangements for this get-away were made shortly after the April Eagle Excellence Banquet when I was presented with a plaque for 30+ consecutive years in K-12 Christian education. Along with the plaque was a check for a trip to someplace tropical. The RIU at Cabo San Lucas sure fits the bill. Julie and I want to thank those who helped make part of this get-away possible. It is appreciated more than words can say, so we'll post pictures now and perhaps in the days ahead.

Who would have guessed that it would be hotter in Michigan than in Cabo? We read about the heat wave on Facebook, but we also heard that we finally got a good rain at home--we sure were parched. God's timing is perfect for sending our roots rain (figuratively and literally) when we need it most.

We continue to pray daily for patience and wisdom for us all as we wait upon the Lord to renew our strength and to mount up with wings as eagles in September....

If you're like me, you never heard of Cabo San Lucas. It is about 800 miles due South of Tucson, AZ at the southern-most tip of the Baja Peninsula. (It is well over 1000 miles by slow desert roads from San Diago, CA.) Many people from all over the world are here this week. Canada is especially well represented.
