I agree with whomever, was it you Ohio?, said they feel close to God on the beach. The power of the waves, the rythmic calmness as the water moves in and out, listening to the birds, seeing the beauty of His wonder all around me, speaks to me of many of God's characteristics.
It also speaks to me of my place in this world. Although I have little actual power compared with One so great, He has set me above the angels and has crowned me with glory and honor.
I read Psalm 46 as part of my quiet time this morning. Psalm 46 ends with, " Cease striving and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations.
Beaches help me retain my perspective.

If I didn't say it, I could have said it! I could live on the beach.
