Amazing Grace
by John Newton
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. . Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, . And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! . Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. . The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures; He will my Shield and Portion be, As long as life endures. . Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. . The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, Who called me here below, Will be forever mine. . When weve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, Weve no less days to sing Gods praise Than when wed first begun.

The fellow had a love of life, but was a gentleman.
I truly think he enjoyed seeing the world “as it is”
He seemed up to new stuff. Not reckless, just seemed like he enjoyed new “everyday stuff”.
I tend to be the same way. If I have the choice between fancy dinner at the place I have been to already, or dinner in another country with the locals, I tend to pick the latter for the new experience.

I had already gotten the pictures ready, but I’m not sure that we had a thread for that 2nd trip. I think we posted in a Canteen, and I didn’t bookmark it, unfortunately.... :(

Both of you have a love of life “as it is” that is refreshing and I’ll never forget those sweet times together. I was hoping for a 3rd trip before long...and Chris with us.

A full life, well-lived, among friends far and wide;
Is the legacy you leave adrift on the tide.
Fair winds and following seas, my friend.
