There’s something holy and majestic about this place. About sitting up here on this bluff, overlooking thousands and thousands of trees, as far as I can see… Nature. Just…existing. Doing what it always does. Just being…

The verse “Be still and know that I am God” encourages us to release our worries, anxieties, and control, and to embrace stillness in God’s presence.

We all love a Christmas tree, all lit up, decorated…it smells wonderful and brings life to the Christmas season. That’s what it represents…Life. Christ, and the new life that He brings to us. We all love posting and sharing pictures of our trees looking all pretty. Today I was taking my tree down…it was ugly…
