Aloha from Hawaii

Sue and I arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii on Tuesday evening. We were blessed with a room on the 32nd floor and a view of Waikiki beach. The beach is a very short walk from our hotel. The temperature has been in the low 80s during the day and low 70s at night. We are having a great time relaxing and soaking up some of the sunshine. Sue has become good friends with Tiffany Vara the mom of Abby the little girl that nearly drowned a few months before Luke's accident. We were blessed to attend a bible study at our the Vara's house last night and meet many people that have been praying for Luke and our family. Mahalo (Thank You) for your prayers, we are truly blessed by each and every one of you.

Here are a few pictures from Hawaii...Enjoy!





A picture of Waikiki from our balcony















While eating at Lulu's, we noticed the guy on the bicycle with the surf board, he is just behind the little SUV.













Another picture while sitting at the railing at Lulu's. This is the beach just across the street.














We have noticed clouds in the valley to the north of us most of the time. We were able to catch a rainbow, which is the mascot for the University of Hawaii.












Here is the sunset from our first day in Hawaii. You cant really tell from the picture, but there were dozens of surfers in the water when I took the picture, and they are there as soon as the sun is up in the morning.







God is preparing a place for us that is referred to as Paradise. Sue and I are enjoying our time in Paradise, and I cannot begin to imagine how grand God's Paradise will be.
