Just got home from band practice. It was great! I am really excited about our student worship service this week. Our team that went to Ecuador will share with their fellow students how God worked, how their life has been changed, and why other students should do missions. It will be powerful. I think it [...]

We had a great day yesterday! We went to Pompano Joe’s for lunch. That is one of my favorite places to eat lunch in Destin. The amberjack sandwich is always good. The restaurant is right on the beach, so the view is beautiful.
We took several pictures on the beach after lunch. It was waaaaaay to cold [...]
