Alice's Restaurant

I have many stories from this renewal leave and I need to start telling them.

You can get anything that you want, at Alice's Restaurant.
I ordered a diet coke and sat for an hour and read a book.

This is the place that Arlo Guthrie sang about in the song of the same name. It is, as you can see, in a beautiful place atop the coastal range near LaHonda, California. The camp I stayed at was about 8 miles from here.

One of the things that I have done on this renewal leave is spend time in nature. God speaks through His creation. The heavens declare the glory of God. It is a spiritual discipline to spend time in creation.

I look at this picture and close my eyes, and I am back there again. God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. Take time to see the goodness of God and feel the presence of God in nature.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
