Firewheels & the Hill Country

Spring Time in Texas!
What an incredible time it is deep in the heart of Texas.
Last month I showed you the bluebonnets and yellow....

Today, that same field in front of my house is filled with Indian Blankets or Firewheels. They bloom from April to June. It is combination of red, orange, and yellow and somewhat resembles a brightly woven tapestry.

This is undeniable proof that God is
the Creator of the Universe and the Sustainer of Life.

How can anyone deny it?

Do you take time to see the flowers and
wonder at the awe of God?

I am headed out of town on a true, albeit faculty, retreat. Almost 50 of us from Baylor will travel 3+ hours south, just outside Kerrville, TX to Laity Lodge for a 4 day, 4 night retreat in the Hill Country. We will have reflection and recreation, small group time, morning and evening prayer, and vocational sessions. This retreat sight is void of technology (no cell reception, no internet, and no television) and abundant with natural surroundings. So, I will be out of touch with friends and family until Friday, but hopefully in touch with co-workers, colleagues, and most importantly, God Himself. It is awsome to work in an organization that sees this sort of opportunity as valuable. I am blessed.
