OUR DAY AT THE FALLS


Today was a good day! The weather was so wonderful and the mood was a step above PERFECT! We decided to head on up to Noccalula Falls and enjoy a good ole' fashioned cook-out. Nothing better than friends coming together..........getting to know each other. Denise, Carolina and I were joined by our friends Jeff and Leslie Moore....their son Clayton......along with Christine and A.J.
Clayton and Carolina had a wonderful time. Here's a snapshot from our hike into Noccalula Falls.


Here we see Denise, Leslie and Christine enjoying the beautiful scenery. Just 15 minutes away from the Falls.......just a short hike away......this is probably one of my favorite places to 'get away' to. We really enjoy the Falls.....just can't get enough of it.

Today was about getting to know one another. The way we live our lives.....it's hard to really get to know someone new. A good example is church. For us.....we get up.....get ready.....drive to church....attend the service and head off to eat or home. In the span of 2 or 3 hours we are apart of something wonderful.... we become 'the Body of Christ'.......a gathering with a purpose.....but you know what we don't do so well? We miss out on community.....getting to know one another. There's always so much going on during the church service.....especially before and after......it just don't happen. Today was indeed a wonderful day. We enjoyed the Falls....enjoyed the food......but we especially enjoyed sharing our lives with one another. There's nothing like finding community and communion with 'like minded' friends. That's what this day was all about!
