Sunset On The Gulf



Today, we drove to Panama City Beach, Florida. From Friday to Sunday, we will be attending Gulf Coast Getaway. There will be over 2500 college students. Marc will be leading two break out sessions and speaking Sunday night. He is here to uplift and encourage, but we know, before we leave, we will be uplifted and encouraged.

We had a nice drive from Baton Rouge today. We got to Panama City Beach before sunset. We were not going to be to our room, and knowing how much I love to watch a beautiful sunset, he pulled into one of the beach access places.

We walked out to an almost deserted beach. There was about a half a dozen other people walking the white sandy beach. I have never seen a deserted beach and it was beautiful. The waves were small and calm. The reflection from the setting sun sinking into the ocean made the white sand appear a pale pink. We watched until the sun disappeared and headed back to the car.

As beautiful as it was, there is just something wrong about needing to be bundled up in coat in gloves on a Florida beach, even in January.
