Early morning walks in cool air and predawn light are usually quiet and soft. However, in my neighborhood these last few weeks, the early morning quiet is punctuated by the constant mechanical churning of huge pumps. The pumps are making a valiant attempt to lower the water level of our local playa lake. Rain and floods were common this spring and into summer for the high plains of Texas. This flat land contains the runoff in shallow flat playa lakes. The overflow of the lake has been ... Read More about An Overcommitted Schedule takes from Life, An Overwhelmed Soul gives Life

The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. ~John 8:12 (NET) The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living.
