The ocean captivates me.
I spent the past week with the executive council of our SGA at Point Loma Naz in San Diego, meeting with student leaders from all the other Nazarene universities. We did some amazing things while we were down there, from batting around ideas to baseball games to a harbor cruise. We even started the first Nazarene rave (I guess I don't really have proof that it was the first one- it just sounds good). Yet nothing topped the mere sight of the ocean.
I'm not quite sure what it is that draws me so deeply that I'm oblivious to everything else. Perhaps it's the soft, rhythmic song played by the waves as they strike upon the shore. Perhaps it's the utter vastness of blue ocean meeting blue sky, an expanse stretching out towards infinitude. Perhaps it's the tritely yet helplessly romantic idea of long walks on the beach beneath the pale moonlight, gazing tenderly at one's beloved. All of these portray scenes of a beautiful, heartwarming love story.
I need God back in that love story.
