More than once today I found myself commenting upon the pristine perfection of the beach. The sand is white, the water is bath-tub-warm and crystal clear, and the sun beats down relentlessly while the clouds roll in mercifully to shield its visitors. One could say it was the perfect day. At one point I stood in the sand and watched the tide roll over my newly bronzed toes only to feel a strong sense that I had seen this exact sight pictured on a post card I saw at the store. It was perfect: a dream come true.
Catalina Island is a place that will never cease to astound me. With its pristine ocean, snow white sand, and affluent visitors, it is conveniently located merely miles from poverty. Partaking in the lush luxury helps the economy which in turn helps everyone here, but regardless, one almost couldn’t help but feel guilty to enjoy such a time while others live in garbage dumps. God used the experience to open my eyes to the differences in our world. The knowledge of the vast economical inequality not only highlighted, but reaffirmed our mission to help those in need.
Pictures from today can be seen here.
