Enchiladas for Thanksgiving Dinner?

Much to our delight, Sam and I took our honeymoon during our Thanksgiving break last week! We spent 11 days and 10 nights amongst the palm trees and crashing ocean waves in the hot (95 degrees) and tropical climate of Acapulco, Mexico. It was great because not only did we get to spend a week and a half enjoying each other, but we got to experience a new culture together. We spent a lot of our time swimming in the ocean, walking on the beach, bartering for souvenirs in the markets, watching movies in our hotel suite, and eating at little Mexican restaurants near our hotel. Our suite was beautiful and had three (yes THREE) balconies right on the ocean.

We also had some great Bible studies together. I think I learned the most, actually, from Jude. Verse 10 says about godless men, "Yet these men speak abusively against whatever they do not understand; and what things they do understand by instinct, like unreasoning animals—these are the very things that destroy them." God has allowed all men to understand at minute portion of His Nature simply by instinct, because we are made in His Image. However, being made in His Image is not enough to win our hearts from the slavery to sin that we have chosen. In fact, it is these instincts can be the the very things that destroy a someone who has not been freed from their sin. An example that came to mind was the homosexual "revolution" that is occurring in our culture today. I've heard people say things like "how can a good and loving God deny the happiness of two people who love each other?" Their instinct of love is right! They are right that God is a good and loving God and that love between two people is good. But it is this instinct, when not checked by Godly wisdom and Biblical Truth, that leads them astray.

Anyways, back to the honeymoon. Here are some pictures:

The Mexican culture LOVES hot dogs. This whole counter is selling hot dogs, and this is only the left half of the counter!

Can you find the six guys climbing/standing on the cliff?

We watched as these nuts-o performers dived from the top of the cliff into the canal 135 feet below!

P.S. They're diving into only 11 feet of water.

We went scuba diving, jet-skiing, and para-sailing!  It was awesome.

I think Sam likes her new name...
