No Toasted Marshmallows!

Ancient peoples spoke of the four main elements of the universe: earth, air, water and fire. These elements were the basis of life and were necessary to sustain that life. We've all experienced and appreciated the peace and renewal that comes from sitting quietly beside a body of water, be it a pond, lake or ocean. Something deep within is touched and rejuvenated as we let our spirits be healed.

Thanks to the generosity of Mike and Jane, we have been blessed with a housewarming gift for Shack Too. They presented us with an electric firebox and mantle for a fireplace. With a little time and some pieces of lumber, I was able to build a framework for the fireplace, as you see in the photo below.



Then I glued sections of imitation rock to the frame, both around the firebox, and at the bottom of the hearth. Behold! We have a beautiful fireplace in our home.


Sitting by the fireplace with a good book, or just relaxing with My Love -- that is about as wonderful a way to be in touch with God as is possible at home. Life is gift and God is Good!
