Tomorrow my husband and I leave on a plane to Victoria, B.C. My brother is so fortunate to have an oceanfront property in the country and across the bay from Victoria harbour. This picture is one view from 'his' beach. From his dining room window you can see Mount Baker, whales, seals, eagles, other wildlife, ocean liners, and practice helicopter water rescue manoeuvers from the Canadian Forces Base in Esquimalt. Or you can sit outside on his deck (while hummingbirds flit around) for a view of the lagoon to the side of his house...home of ducks, swans, herons, and the occasional otter. I could so get used to living here! Our visit will be too short - we are going to witness his vows as he marries a wonderful woman we met on our visit last summer.
And so I share a fitting song...one that was my favourite a few years back. While transporting teenagers who couldn't yet drive, I would blare it in the car and we would loudly sing along. And now that Audio Adrenaline has said Adios, the song is even more of a classic! I just might be humming it beside the ocean in a few days!

The mistakes I've made, that caused pain
I could have done without, all my selfish thoughts
All my pride, the things I hide
You have forgot about
They're all behind you, they`ll never find you
They're on the ocean floor, your sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom, of the ocean floor
My misdeeds, all my greed
All the things that haunt me now
They're not a pretty sight to see
But they`re wiped away
By a mighty mighty wave
A mighty mighty wave
They're all behind you, they`ll never find you
They're on the ocean floor, your sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom, of the ocean floor
Your sins are erased
And they are no more
They're out on the ocean floor
Take them away, to return no more
Take them away, to the ocean floor
To the ocean floor, to the ocean floor
They're all behind you, they`ll never find you
They're on the ocean floor, your sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom, of the ocean floor
Your sins are erased
And they are no more
They're out on the ocean floor
Your sins are forgotten
They're on the bottom
Of the ocean floor
Your sins are erased
They're out on the ocean floor
Ocean Floor

"Where is the god who can compare with you—wiping the slate clean of guilt, Turning a blind eye, a deaf ear, to the past sins of your purged and precious people? You don't nurse your anger and don't stay angry long, for mercy is your specialty. That's what you love most. And compassion is on its way to us. You'll stamp out our wrongdoing. You'll sink our sins to the bottom of the ocean." Micah 7:18,19 (The Message Bible)
