My backyard retreat


is quiet except for birds' songs, an occasional whir of a car on the highway, an airplane and a couple of dogs barking as if to say "I'm awake! Ain't life grand?"

The early spring chill in the air makes the hot coffee even tastier. My heart feels joy and peace, one step closer to balance. I continually remind myself that balance doesn't happen in a day or every day even. It's a daily exercise in choosing priorities and knowing a Savior who is always there. Trusting God is the easy part. Giving Him complete control is harder but I highly recommend it.


When a need arises,

pray to God the Father.

When guidance is sought

follow Christ the Son.

When wisdom is required

fill up on the Holy Spirit.
