I spent last weekend in Minnesota at Lake Karonis. The air was crisp with the scent of fall. There was something very healing about being removed from the hustle of town. I got up early one morning and found a spot near the lakeshore. The sound of the loon echoed in the distance and there I was amid all the glory and wonder of creation, it was peaceful. That deep abiding peace that seems to come when we allow ourselves to step outside our daily routines and remove ourselves from worldly cares.

Earth - a magnificent queen - blue sphere - floating amid the beauty of the universe - filled with life -- our home. A home created with love and our best interest at heart by a creator who provides for all our needs. To breathe the air, feel the love of God and become aware of our own place within the myriad aspects of life we call creation. Now that's living!
