break is -still- beautiful :o)

So - sitting here eating breakfast at Bruegger's with Julie and Linda - I feel special. They aren't morning people, but they're here with me for breakfast. Maybe because I was paying - but usually not even that would get them out of the house before noon. Linda has a green bagel - I think they had leftover food coloring from St. Patrick's day and just kept making them green.

Backpacking was AMAZING! I love being out and away from stuff for a while just to get my head straightened back out. And to sleep a lot. And to take pictures, jump off of rocks, stand under waterfalls, breathe real air...

Now I am back, showered, civilized, running errands and spending time with family - isn't that what break is for? I'm also reading Hebrews with the missions dept. and realizing again how wonderful Jesus is. Captain of our salvation. Maybe I'll start calling Him that. Or try this:

"For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren..."

Break is beautiful.
