Eric and I are headed to the coast tomorrow for a few days of rest and play and as we prepare, I am reminded of my last trip to the beach, just a few weeks back. I participated in two different events that overlapped at Camp Magruder: the yearly Deacon's retreat and Immerse, a wonderful time of renewal for camp and church leaders.
The Deacons reflected on our role as bridge-builders, connecting the church and the world, and spent some time getting crafty and creating bridges out of recycled materials. 
The Bridge of God, or "Bridge of Goo" as it became affectionately known.
Jeff wanted to find an actual bridge that he helped build at Magruder several years ago, so we braved the rain and growing puddles in the wetlands (no kidding) to find it.
We didn't quite reach it because the water level on the trail kept growing higher, but we did spy it from across the way.
Some of my beach buddies:
It was so windy!
The coast is wonderful, no matter what the weather, but I do hope that this week, any rain we do have will be falling softly down, not pelting us horizontally. We'll be in Seaside, which is a town we haven't yet visited--yay!
