Oh Man!!!!

So, Joe West, i really just love you a lot. And i love your face and miss it! but i love all of you as well...not just your face...i'll stop there!

Today, i did something that i never thought i would ever do in my whole life...i jumped in the ocean in freezing cold weather and swam out to a floating dock. IT WAS AMAZING!!! It was so shockingly cold at first that i thought i was going to stop breathing...but after the initial shock, i just started swimming. And it was right at sunset to so it was just gorgeous. When i got out to the floating dock, i felt so much peace. I just wanted to praise God with song right in the middle of the ocean on a floating piece of wood. Then, i looked at the city for a while. and for some reason it reminded me of everyone. So, i thanked Jesus for every one of you. You all brought me a lot of joy tonight without even being here!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
