James and Mary boarded their cruise ship in Miami, bound for Belize. Though their business focused on northern climes and cold weather, they both enjoyed the tropics and especially scuba diving and snorkeling. The barrier reef in Belize was supposed to have some of the best diving in the western hemisphere, with a wide variety of fishes. Mary also wanted to see the Mayan ruins. James didn’t care about the ruins. He had seen all the jungles he wanted to see years before in Vietnam, but if it would make Mary happy, he was up for it.
Though Jed was still on their minds, they had determined to make the most of the trip and enjoy themselves. Worrying and thinking about him was not going to bring him home. Jed was in God’s hands, and they had to be careful to trust Him.
