What an incredible day we experienced. We had an early morning worship/communion service lead by a worship team made up of Gateway students and Mike did the preaching. Then we all piled into the cars a drove for 1 1/2 hours to
Caddo Lake State Park.
Caddo Lake is the only natural lake in Texas. It was created from a mass of trees and flood debris known
historically as the Great Raft of the Red River. Today we canoed in and out of the bayous that were full of ancient bald
Cyprus trees. It took us about 4 hours of
canoeing in 103F (37c). But the sights that we saw were just amazing. A
lisia paddled with Barry and Cheryl. While Joshua was with Mike and myself.
The size of these Lilly Pads were larger than the span of a man's hand. There were times we just sat in awe and wonder at God's creation and let the canoe drift. By the end of the 4 hours we were all very hot and tired, but we would not have traded the experience in for anything. We headed back to our home away from home, had pizza and salad for dinner, put Aloe Vera on our burns, and "vegged" out for the rest of the night. All I have to say is: "Where is my massage therapist when I need him?!"
