Today we spent the majority of our work day at Shandon Baptist Church for the election of our new Executive Director of the SCBC. It was a good day, and of course Dr. Hollingsworth was elected. God really seems to have led him here to SC, and I know many people are excited for what new and needed changes this will bring.

After a long day there, I trucked back home in the Wagoneer, taking in the sights of Columbia. This big city we never took huge advantage of when we lived outside its borders, but one booming and growing with lots of history untold. We did spend many days at the Riverfront Park with Spence, as we walked along the rivers edge. Enjoyed a few local hot spots to eat at. I spent a few nights at the Nickelodeon, the local movie theatre that shows all sorts of never heard of up and coming films. Attending a few too many Greek Festivals in the summer. It's a unique place, Columbia. Keep on Soda City, keep on.

Downtown View. Well kind of.

At home, I was able to spruce up the house some, before Stephen came home. As soon as we could, we broke out for Myrtle Beach for our church's 21st annual beach retreat. We promptly arrived at 2am Friday morning......ugh! So tired, and we crashed until we woke early the next morning. Not nearly enough sleep.
