Life is often busy, even hectic. Sometimes we find ourselves longing for a simpler pace of life. Or at least for a few days away from our regular routines, away from the hustle-bustle and stress of our daily lives.
Last week, Al and I took a few days to unplug. Well, sort of. I guess it would be more accurate to say we were semi-unplugged. We spent a few days in the mountains, enjoying the beauty of the fall season. We weren't completely isolated. We stayed in a nice hotel. We watched a little television. We occasionally checked our electronic devices. But mostly we ignored the electronics (and politics) as we took a few days away from "regular life". We just relaxed and enjoyed the beauty of God's creation.
We all need that from time to time, don't we? Time to relax. To unwind. To be still.
And what better time to enjoy a few days in the mountains than in the autumn?
Autumn in the mountains is the perfect time to unplug. To enjoy the beauty of the world God has given us. The perfect time to unwind.
It's the perfect time to be still.
"Be still, and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10)
