I'm not running from a wicked queen who is out to get me, nor am I going to be hiding out in a cave. Like Elijah, though, I intend for the next ten days or so to sleep and then wake up and eat and then sleep some more and then eat some more, and in between, I will read and walk and talk and think and pray.
It's staycation time—a new word in our dictionary now—a combination of vacationing and staying at home. For a week I am going to be at a nearby country location with a lake and grass and trees and a lot of blue sky, if it doesn't rain as it often does on vacations! There are walking paths (one of them designated as a "prayer path), a hammock, rocking chairs on the patio, friendly cats and perfectly lovely hosts. I could pitch a tent there, but I prefer the comfort of a real bed and some air conditioning in what my family fondly calls "the garden level" accommodations (a walkout basement). There is no television, no cell phone reception (although the hosts have a landline if guests have an emergency), minimal kitchen facilities—nothing to do except the things I mentioned above. Praise be!
I am not expecting an earthquake or wind or fire like Elijah experienced, but I am hoping like him to hear the "still small voice." I'll be back blogging again around the end of July.
