The Leap of Faith

The thing about a relationship with God is, you can't just talk about
talking to God, or think about thinking about believing in God... you
have to jump. Believe. Trust. And it takes a letting go of the
familiar, an exhilarating jump into the deep and into the unknown.

Thinking, rationalizing, imagining what it will look like to love God
and trust in Him is a world away from actually doing it, from jumping
into this leap of faith.

It only took Sean a couple flashing moments to make a leap into
Lawson's old granite quarry on Vinalhaven Island today. Wooohooooo!!
It's a good 15-20 foot drop into even deeper water (very safe mom, no
worries. PS - Uncle Bill jumped first)

UB & NS,
This is a trip that you will cherish and remember forever.

NS: Keep your journal, photos, notes, and souvenirs; they will serve you well in 50-60 years when you relive this for a spiritual lift - at my age!

UB: I am available and anxiously awaiting your next trip - Take Me...Take Me!!! [LOL]

Thanks for sharing this, you have touched and uplifted many people.
