"There's something about this place.  You just sort of forget the rest of the world exists." - from Devils Within by S.F. Henson.  

This morning I picked up my truck from Slayden's.  The new tires and shocks weren't cheap, but driving the truck home before school started with the sun coming up ... man, was it nice.  The different tires are much quieter, and the new new shocks definitely smooth the ride.  I got to thinking of camping all over again, and then when I was reading my book, that little segment from the book seemed to accurately describe the effect camping has on me.  Indeed, when you are at the campground, especially where there is no wi-fi available, it's an opportunity to set aside the rest of the world.

Things that I NOW think about with the coronavirus. (2/24)

On the news this morning, there were stories that are discussing good signs of returning to "normal" - stories about safety of seeing loved ones without masks on and stories about infection rates declining by 50% over the past month in Iowa and Illinois.

Holy Spirit...

Help me have... 

    a pure heart, that I may see;
    a humble heart, that I may hear;
    a heart of love, that I may serve;
    a heart of faith, that I may abide in the spirit.
