My break from the DC Beltway involved a trip down to the friendly South. When I passed the first Waffle House, I realized that I was back in a land of big churches, wonderful people, and good grits. During the trip, I stayed with the family an Air Force friend. The joy of being in The South was enhanced by the wonderful hospitality, great food, time on the beach, and windsurfing. When sailing off sand dunes, I got to enhance my prayer life as I inadvertently practiced a variety of 'tactical landings.' (including flipping upside down in an impersonation of a turtle and snapping part of the airframe) Along with the aerial stunts, we actually found a sign ordering a jump from a bridge into a shallow pool (see picture above)
After returning to DC, I am very thankful that God provided an oasis during the season of monastic life. How much additional refreshment does our creator have for the hearts of people who will ask for the peace of Jesus?
