The Starfish

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!” After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said ” I made a difference for that one.”
Proverbs 24:12 "Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible to act."

Surfs up!

There is an awesome surf shop here called "Inner Light", a christian organization that promotes exercise, healthy eating, and Love God!  They offer weekly surf camps throughout the summer.  Avery invited her friend Liz to spend the week and learn how to surf.  Avery and Liz were best friends before Hurricane Katrina (we all relocted since).  What a fun way to spend time together!
