We were able to take a little trip last week.  We headed south to the Lewisburg area and the Greenbriar River.  Tiny cabin, beautiful spot.  Plenty of fish for catching and tasty eating, a beautiful river for wading or canoeing, and peace.  Peace and quiet and separation from the ordinary.  Our respite was brief, but beautiful.  My daughter and I walked down a wooded trail, encountering nervous wild life and gorgeous wild flowers.  A single strand of spider web was strung across our path, taut and silvery in the sunlight and shadow.  The trees arched over our path and we knew that this was a place that needed to be witnessed in every season before we could have a true understanding of its glory. 

Psalm 89:1,2,11

"I will sing of the Lord's great love forever;with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.  I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you established your faithfulness in heaven itself.  The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it."
