Micheal, once again you have brought me refreshing from the throne--thank you! I sure do miss my Atlantic Ocean out here in the Midwest!.... Just a note to Thomas: Why not go back and read this again, taking each phrase and turning it over in your heart, sipping it slowly, like wine? Hey, we all have a unique approach to things, but for me the careful sparsity of verbiage is what enables me to do the very thing he's talking about--to slow down and breathe the Creator's tenderness.
