Another good day at the beach. The weather has been beautiful: not too hot, but warm enough to need sunscreen (well, maybe I discovered that a bit too late today). So, I've been thinking. . . how do I "vacation" when I am accustomed to always having something to do or somewhere to go? Reading is great, but I can only sit for so long. Working on blogs and facebooks can be fun, (and also waste a great deal of time), but this doesn't provide much lasting substance. Maybe no one else has this conflict, and for that you should be thankful. But today, after reading and thinking about a section in Lewis S. Chafer's He That is Spiritual on the concept of being dead to sin, I found Gramps and had a great discussion with him. He is so wise, yet very humble and practical. I walked away from our conversation with a greater thankfulfulness both for a godly grandfather and for a God who has given me everything I need for life and godliness.

Anna, I completely identify with your struggle! "Vacations" leave me very restless, unless I take "projects" with me to make my mind work hard. And I absolutely hate the feeling that I am wasting time. :)
