If Heaven Were Six Hours East

Fall break for Appalachian is now over, and it continues it’s stellar tradition for me. Last year it was Atlanta with Mark, Jamie, Stephen, and Pete, this year being the Newlife Beach Retreat. Now this may sound like oh no another youth group esk trip full of one-piece suits, curfews, and poor planning, but it was absolutely lovely. Way too much happened to tell, or to little. So here’s the count.
