Diverting

My family and I recently returned from a wonderful vacation. We spent 5 nights in the small town of Timberon, NM. As we drove up the winding road high into the mountains it became immediately apparent that we were far from civilization. My idea of a perfect vacation isn't going to Disney Land or the beach, it is disappearing and diverting from everything. I would rather be in a cabin away from phones, computers, and news than in the middle of traffic, big crowds, and long lines.

One of the most important and effective ways to keep your fire going strong for God is diverting away from your hectic schedule. TAKE A BREAK. SLOW DOWN. And do something that you wouldn't normally do. Draw, read a good book, take a walk in the woods, connect with nature, or you could do something way out there and build a house of cards like I did.

Here is a picture.

I know it sounds silly, but if you do something that you don't normally do, if you divert from your normal routine, then you will be amazed at how you will stay refreshed.
