Surf's up!

I admit it readily. An internship in Florida in many ways is an internship in Paradise. For this girl from the high plains, proximity to the ocean was a dream come true. Living a block away was beyond my wildest expectations.

But I will also admit, the water still makes me nervous. I'm not scared and I won't drown, but I just don't love the vulnerability of a massive body of water with things in it that would like to eat me. I love to sit on the shore, stick my feet in, dig in the sand, watch the crabs in tide pools. But I rarely let the water get above my knees.

And I'm taking the high school students on a surfing retreat.



I love it.

More to follow. Prayers much appreciated.
