Biloxi, Mississippi

This picture is from a trip to Biloxi, Mississippi. Even though the water is not as blue green and the beach is not as white as Panama City, Biloxi holds a special place in my heart. It is the place I saw the ocean for the first time. I had learned about Christopher Columbus in school that year and how a lot of people in his time believed the world was flat. (I would just like to point out that if these people had ever read the Bible, they would know that the earth was round. Isaiah 40:22 says: "It is He who sits above the circle of the earth.") I can remember standing on the beach thinking that I could see why they thought the world was flat because, where the horizon line was, it looked just like you could sail right off the edge of the earth. I have since been on cruises to the Bahamas and know that you can not in fact sail right off the edge. Just a side note about the gulf area of Mississippi, it has the best honey in the world. The father of one of my close friends has a honey farm on the gulf coast in Mississippi. I have to say that normally, I don't like honey but honey from the gulf coast is wonderful. It has a light flavor and it is so clear. So, if you ever go to Biloxi or Gulfport, be sure to pick up some local honey. Talk to you next blog.
