"Thus says the lord, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, 'I, the Lord, am the maker of all things, stretching out the heavens by myself and spreading out the earth all alone" Isaiah 44:24
One of the fondest memories I have of my grandmother was what a wonderful cook she was. Every time I visited her house, it was filled with wonderful aromas of every type of food imaginable. It was a dream come true for me and my brothers. There was food on the stove. There was food in the refrigerator. There were deserts on the chest freezer she had outside her kitchen. It was better than any modern day buffet that you could visit.

"I will lift up my eyes to mountains; From where shall my help come? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber." Psalms 121, Verses 1-3 (NASB)
I have to admit that I'm not much of an adventurer or outdoorsman ,although I do like to enjoy outdoor activities. I like to camp and fish occasionally, especially when I was younger. Now, it seems that I just don't have the time or make the time to relax as much as I should. I suppose we're all caught up in our daily lives and the ongoing hustle and bustle.

I spend a lot of time in my car. Unfortunately, my commute to work each day is about 80 miles round trip. In some ways, I enjoy the commute. It allows me time to gear up for my day at work, or gear down on my way home in the evenings. It also gives me some time to myself to think about the topic for the day, whatever that might be. In other ways, I dislike the commute. The wear and tear on my car is great. The aggravation of traffic is unbearable some days. However, the bottom line is I try to make the most of my particular commuting challenges.
