Well, a sweaty, but charmed life. I do occasionally get out of Texas so that my life can be more charming and less sweaty.
This will be the 4th time I've been to Hawaii. I've walked out to lava flowing down from a volcano. I flew in a helicopter over the Kilauea caldera and seen the lava bubbling up inside the volcano. What an awesome sight! (And I don't use awesome loosely!) This trip we are planning a trip to the top of Mauna Kea to see the stars at one of the best observatories in the world. It also happens to be the time of year for one of the best meteor showers to occur. How cool is that?

In a very different part of the world, I've flown to the top of a glacier and landed in an airplane on it. We walked around and threw snowballs in the middle of summer. The glacier, if melted, would be as deep as the Grand Canyon! I've flown right past Mount McKinley on a sunny day and it is breathtaking.

I've traveled twice to Israel and enjoyed the beauty of the Mount of Beatitudes and been on the same steps that Jesus walked to Jerusalem. I've seen the Garden of Gethsemene where Jesus was betrayed by Judas and the Potter's Field where Judas hanged himself.

Sometimes it's hard to remember how fortunate I am(especially in 110* temps in Texas in the summer) and how blessed I've been by seeing so much of God's amazing creation. I've seen so much beauty that it brings tears to my eyes and takes my breath away.
So for today, I'm very thankful for my charmed life. Yes indeed. Charmed.
