A lot of Pictures!

I thought I would post some pics from the California trip since I was checking them out myself:

You can't really put this into words.

Planes, California, and Pizza

This morning we got up early to go wait and see if we were going to catch a flight to California today. My cold seemed to be better, but then we got to the airport...yeah, not so much.

I was told Tuesday is the best day to fly, who the heck came up with that one? There were a TON of people there. The number one downfall of the ATL airport- ONE SECURITY CHECKPOINT! Every single person who is flying that day must go through the SAME PLACE! In this respect, PHL wins out.

Good news is we got on the first flight, and really, the going up didn't hurt my head too bad, but the coming down....yikes!

We arrived in California around 10:30 this morning, after leaving at 9... weird huh?

Our view is great:

i know, not the straightest picture, but I am still getting the hang of this computer. That's the ocean just over the house and the palm trees. 

Courtney and I ordered a little pizza and are just hanging around today, enjoying the nice breeze.

I will be posting more pictures (hopefully they will be straight, but no promises!)

Elevate

I am excited to be leading worship again at the Elevate conference this year in San Diego. Last year, Courtney and I pretty much fell in love with that area. (We are told it's the best part of California) I would still like to travel up to where those big red wood trees are, that would be pretty awesome to see.

I mean seriously, can you imagine standing under a tree that huge? God is amazing!

Here is a picture from Elevate last year. This is what you see when you walk out of the auditorium:


There is something about being up this high and actually looking down onto the Pacific. Where I am from, you are always sea level and the ocean does not look near as big. Here, it looks like it goes on forever. This was the first time I had ever seen the Pacific Ocean, and it was straight up incredible!

Keep checking back for updates!
