Thoughts/Observations:
My kind of hike this morning -- hiking amidst the colorful tapestry of GOD's forest. I was immersed in a world of color as brown, yellow, and red leaves cushioned my feet and enveloped me on all sides. Autumn has always been my favorite time of year -- I just can't get enough of drinking in the depth of vibrant color that GOD has splashed throughout HIS Creation. The firmament certainly shows forth HIS handiwork.
The peace I feel while hiking here is palatable. Very much needed and appreciated.
