2011: The Music, a Musician, and the Maestro

Orchestra

Have you ever thought of time as a piece of music? Perhaps a concerto with millennia as movements, centuries as periods, years as phrases, and weeks as measures?

You and I are each musicians in the largest orchestra ever created, the universe as our hall, the earth as our shell, the angels as our audience, and God as the Maestro.

W.I.L.D. 2011: Thursday- Water, Wildlife, and Warmth

Going upriver

Thursday’s Journal Entry:

“Long day today, but probably my favorite so far (with the exception of solo day). We ate breakfast, had devos, packed up camp, and headed out at about 9:00am.

W.I.L.D. 2011: Monday- Into the Wilderness

Monday’s Journal Entry:

“Woke up after about 7 hours of sleep, ate one pack of instant oatmeal, packed everything up, and headed into the woods for about an hour of quiet time with God.
