Heretofore I had been the only person in my family who had not been to the Caribbean. I admit, I’m more of a mountains person than a beaches person. When I think of “paradise” or “God’s country,” I’m more likely to envision a rustic cabin overlooking streams, evergreen forests, and rocky peaks than a sandy shoreline with waving palms. Still, in the midst of an icy, sleeting southern Illinois winter, it is not hard to dream of tropical getaways. This winter my family decided to take a cruise.
Going on the cruise meant skipping GYC, the first one I’d ever missed. I felt a bit sad about that, but then there’s always 3ABN and AudioVerse, where the GYC highlights are captured in all their multimedia glory. The one part I really missed was seeing my friends — but I got to visit other friends, so am consoled.
