Morning

After we got everyone out the door Ziva and I enjoyed our morning walk at the little beach by us. We were joined by some osprey and a lone crabbing boat out checking his traps. 

It was lovely, restorative. Very sad though because I got a call from Anthony about an awesome awesome young man who's on our youth committee and now can't help with youth conference. The adversary is so strong and vigilant and ever mindful. We have to be even more so because even when he temporarily wins a battle we can not let him win the war. Nor will we lose one of our precious ones. Christ already paid that price and we must help Him win the Victory. 

And this boy, he'll be fine. He's on the path and is strong. The atonement is real. Bottom line. I know He is.

Pep talk over, we were still saddened by the news.

When I got home we took a garden stroll and enjoyed the flowers growing in our yard. 

Ready for a good Friday!
