THE LAND OF NARNIA?

                                         GOD'S GLORY IS ON TOUR IN THE SKIES,
                                         GOD-CRAFT ON EXHIBIT ACROSS THE HORIZON! 
                                                              PS. 119:1 THE MESSAGE 
                                                         
This morning my husband and I woke up, debating whether or not we had walked through the wardrobe door into the land of Narnia!  Frost and snow covered every tree limb as if a fairy had sprinkled her wand, fairy dust transforming the landscape into a mystical play land.   As I stepped out the door into the frigid dawn hours, it was the absence of sound that impressed me.  Stillness.....


This quietness, this beauty reminded me of something Paul Young wrote in his first novel, The Shack:  "Snow or freezing rain suddenly releases you from expectations, performance demands, and the tyranny of appointments and schedules.......All those affected this way are united by a mutual excuse, and the heart is suddenly and unexpectedly a little giddy.  There will be no apologies needed for not showing up to some commitment or other.  Everyone understands and shares in this singular justification, and the sudden alleviation of the pressure to produce makes the heart merry." (pg. 15)
