So We Don't Forget... "Alone Time"

Last week I discovered Lynnette Kraft's blog Dancing Barefoot on Weathered Ground. Wonderful!! Like a breath of fresh air!! I've been there numerous times reading--whenever I get a chance

There are pictures in the sky to decipher and misquitoes to slap.

So, I really don't plan my alone time. It finds me. And then I'm not really alone because I usually end up inviting the Lord to spend it with me. :-)
