Have you ever had that moment, when everything comes together and everything is right with the world, your family and friends, your love for life, your passion? Yesterday, at Jackson Blue, a little over a year after I almost lost my life there, I made my deepest penetration, 1000 ft, since the IPE last July 4th. For so many weeks last summer not even knowing that I would even be able to dive again, some excerpts from this song by Sara Evans comes to mind,
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments
I know all I need is this
These are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
It happened to me while diving ginnie springs one day. I was floating upside down and looking at the ceiling in "Double Domes". I just realized that my life was in perfect order and I was doing exactly what I wanted to do. It was so euphoric that I had to force myself to exit the cave.

What a beautiful way to describe it! I felt the same way! I didn't want to leave!
Equality of opportunity or equality of outcome? One is consistent with a free people and the other requires a police state. Pick one. - Tobin George
Question for the day: Does God love me for some unexplained reason and blessed me with a wonderful wife - OR - Did God bless me with a wonderful wife and, therefore, has learned to love me for her sake?
