Vacation

My wife and I were able to spend this past week with a large part of our family. We all met in Los Angeles, for seven days of vacation bliss and relaxation. Here are a few pictures of our cruise....







The star attraction for Pattie and I on this trip... Our kids!







I love these kids!
I am proud of each of them!








Grandma Carol, with a few of her grandkids!








Lashel, Jordon, Trayton, Joel, KayLee, Devery








JR, Christy, Pam, Lynel, Mason, Dawson







Pattie, Grandma Carol, Natasha, Austin, Chantelle
18 of us in all... I love these people









I actually talked my wife into doing this... Good times!
A speed boat, a parachute and 500 feet of rope







Natasha was impressed by the number of old bugs still on the road... :D








And what vacation photo album would be complete without a landscape picture.



I came back feeling really blessed and full, yet there is a gnawing void just beyond my reach...

The relentless passing of time....
The vapor that is this life...


Lord help me to redeem the time....
