I spent a quiet night in the woods this past week in March. I rented a small campers cabin in Lake Maria State Park that was nestled on the shores of a pond. I felt like I was reliving Walden. I found this to be a rewarding experience. Below is the camper cabin in which I stayed:
In front you can see the small pond. I spent a lot of time writing and reflecting
on my call and on scriptures. I took time to read through Galatians and Titus. I found a number of things there that were
illuminating.
The park, located near Monticello, MN, is beautiful. Though not one of the largest,
it is, I think, underrated. Below are a couple of winter picutures.

What was particularily restful was watchng the night fall slowly. We are so used to just turning on the
light, but without electricity and only a small battery powered lantern, you learn patience and you learn to wait. I wrote
until the light was gone, then wrote again after I started my lamp. The light was not room filling, so you tend to stay focused
on the task at hand.
