One of the tasks we do while guests are here is to check the conference rooms in the morning. We refill water dispensers, clean up messes and take out the trash. While taking the trash to the dumpster, which would normally be one of those errands I like to do quickly, I had to pause and look at God's creation. The sunrise that morning was amazing! I only had my phone camera with me and it didn't catch the full magnitude of God's beauty. The sun was coming over the horizon and in the far field I could see 20 or so cows grazing and then in the field closer to me were 10 deer grazing as well. It is times like this that I would love to express the importance and need to get away from everyday life. Even though I live out in the country and work at a retreat, I too need to make sure to get away from hectic schedules and relax with God. Whether it be here at Camp Tejas, at your local park, your back yard or your kitchen table, I encourage you to take time to enjoy God's beauty and relax in it.Paul Biles - Retreat Director
