I have to laugh when I look at the pictures on my phone. I noticed recently that I have a LOT of pictures of the road that I walk on every day. You have to understand there there is nothing on this road except for farmland on either side and a silo at the end of it. Oh, the cows stare at me from their morning breakfast of grasses, and occasionally a barn cat will greet me, but that’s it. I seldom see a person or have a car pass by.

I Had To Get Away
Life stays busy for most all of us, and when life is loud and full, it can be challenging to hear God’s voice unless we make a concerted effort.

We are guilty of doing the same thing when we foolishly binge on things that have no value to our spiritual life. Let’s glean some great practical advice that Elizabeth George was given by a friend that will help us to grow spiritually because we’re feasting on God’s Wisdom.
