Yup. We're relaxing in beautiful Cancun and enjoying the 'high life' at the Ritz. There's definitely nothing I could possibly complain about - the staff is friendly, the room is spacious, the food is delicious, and view is spectacular! We even have a private balcony overlooking the aqua waters of the Caribbean.
While taking in the view this morning, God reminded me of just how glorious He is. How amazing that God not only created the ocean out of nothing, but actually knows every wave that crashes to the shore. The sheer power of the water is intimidating to even the strongest of swimmers. I've observed men getting knocked down by waves that couldn't be any bigger than two feet. Yet, God's Son was given authority to not only walk on the water, but also to calm the waves. Think about that for a moment. Even sea walls and levees can't control the ocean, as we've seen in recent storms. What it must have looked like to the disciples as Jesus stood on that boat and stopped the storm! I pray that God continues to reveal Himself to me in such tangible ways!
A quick note about today's title: While we were on a cruise to Mexico a few years back we overheard an extremely intoxicated couple shout this drunken exclamation. Daryl and I have since used this as an inside joke when visiting Disneyland, San Antonio, and now that we're once again in Mexico we're saying it like it's going out of style (not too loudly though, as we don't want to be one of those tourists.)
