Christian retreat at Myrtle Beach

I am on a Christian Women's retreat at North Myrtle Beach. The house that the church rented is on the beach, and I'm looking over my laptop to the sea and the waves and the birds and it's beautiful. What a balm for the eyes. We are going through the Beth Moore "Loving Well" series and last night was the first night. Meanwhile, the morning is free except for devotionals at 10:00AM and in the evening we will go out to eat at a restaurant before our return home for part two of the study. Here is the view from the deck this morning:

Myrtle Beach!

Our condo, and no, it's not about to take off, that is the local water tower behind it.
