Saturday Sunset
Awesome!!!! That is the only word I can think to describe my feelings about tonight. Ok...I am jumping ahead of myself.
We got up this morning and while the kiddos slept in, I did my laundry and fixed us some breakfast, then cleaned the kitchen back up. I got to catch up on my Bible reading and read some on my counseling book. Those were things I really needed to do.
When the kids got up we enjoyed a little time and then Shannon and I went to a friends house who is selling all of her earthly possesions in lieu of a trip to China as a teacher and missionary. Shannon got some nice things for just a few dollars.
We then went to Burger King for something to tide us over until supper.
We were to meet Tommy and Megan at 5:00 at the marina where Tommy's boat was docked. This was such a nice thing for him to do. This is his business and it would have cost us a lot of money to have gone on this "sunset cruise" if he had not offered. They brought me a nice bouquet of flowers which was totally unexpected.
I couldn't help but fight back tears as we started out. God's creation is so unique and beautiful!! The colors of the water, the sky, the beautiful homes, the clouds with the sun streaming through it and then the sun going over the horizon were all breathtaking. As it began to get dark, the lights of the city were spectacular.
After docking, we walked to an Italian restaurant and Mike and I had pizza. I will have to say that pizza is better than the seafood. Sorry...I just don't care that much for seafood! The night air was very comfortable.
I just can't believe we are experiencing all these things in January!
Well, tomorrow morning we will be going to Sarasota Baptist Church and then coming back to eat roast out of Shannons crockpot. Our flight home leaves at 9:?? so we will have to be at the airport around 8ish. We will leave more rested and with many good memories.
I would highly recommend the Sarasota area to anyone who wants to have a nice vacation. There are so many eating establishments and other fun things to do. You can always charter a fishing trip with Tommy also at www.catchthespiritfishing.com.
Well, I have to go wash the sea shells I gathered for the bus kids.....don't tell anyone but I think some of them were inhabited. I opened the sack this morning and the smell was less than pleasant.
Thank you Lord for allowing us to experience all these wonderful things. Your love and care are above measure!!!!!

Dear Linda,
I never knew you wrote this. Yet God found a time to lay it on my heart 5 years later, in my quiet time, after Megan divorced me, unemployed, yet in all of this mess I created, I am seeking God and finding him still showing me his all great Almighty Power, and All Loving grace I so humbly and shamefully accept. Since I left Sarasota, I have been slowly deniying myself and trying to pick up my cross. Although my heart longs to have saved my marriage and family, Gods will has trumped my request and wants with his discipline for me. I am so grateful for you in Christ ,sharing yourself with those kids and I just wanted you to know as an encouragement that today your prayer was delivered and heard to me through God Holy Spirt. Praise Him from whom all things flow!!
God Bless you dear and pray for me, that God continues the good work he has started in both Megan and Myself and Felina our prcious Gift from him.
In Christ,
Tommy Tinacci
