Joy

Well, nobody drowned this weekend. We just returned from white water rafting the Ocoee River. What a rush!!! I have always taken this area for granted. I noted while we were in the area that it is amazing how God can create something that is at once serene and chaotic depending on your perspective. Let me demonstrate. Most of the rapids are class 3,4,or 5. At the point we were maneuvering a class 5 rapid, we also happened to be passing through the spectator landing area. For those on the banks watching, this was a placid, entertaining viewing area. For those of us gasping for air and trying to paddle at the same time, it felt more like bull riding arena. But we made it. We are all a little sore, a little bit less shy, and came away with some great memories. This is the stuff life is made of!!!
