For those of you who were not in attendance yesterday afternoon at the beach, you missed a golden opportunity to hang out and have some fun with your church community.
Dany had his group sized awning/tent set up on the beach for shade if you were so inclined, and of course plenty of empty white sand real estate surrounded "Club Deeper" for those more interested in catching a few rays and working on the tan.
If you are of the surfer persuasion, and not in attendance, than you missed some of the best waves I've seen in quite sometime.
Parents, once the kids were done digging, building, raking, and swimming a quick walk across A1A brings you to a kids utopia complete with swings, slides, and a playground the kids don't want to leave.
Singles, there were a few of you there but what a great reason to go and enjoy God's nature on the Sabbath and maybe meet a new friend.
When we had our fill of the ocean, sand, and sun, we traded it all for a spot on the cool green grass and a covered pavilion to gorge ourselves (yours truly ate 5!) on hot dogs and an assortment of other goodies provided and served by Reynold Acosta and Stan Dobias from Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences. Thank you to all who assisted in providing us with a way to fill the hunger pangs before heading home (heartburn is the sole responsibility of the end user:).
Overall an enjoyable day to catch up with friends, enjoy the beauty of what God created for us, and to spend time in community with each other. When the next social event is announced, think twice before dismissing it as we often do for other plans. After all, how cool could it be if it's being planned by church?...How cool indeed!

Randy, you are so right! This really was a fun afternoon at the beach! We were hesitant to go at first because it looked like rain, but boy we're glad we did. Good times and good friends, you can't beat it.
And, if anyone needs another excuse to go, Reynold turned out to be quite the gourmet hot dog chef!
So, I was stuffed after eating a ridiculous amount of hot dogs, then I get to the B-day party and guess what I do? Eat! Insane.
Very nice time at the beach thanks to all those that made the trip.
