Boundaries

We were on a walk at a nearby National Historic Site, when I snapped this shot.  It made me think.  Do I have a boundary in my life.  Is there a fence blocking me from a closer walk with God, and unselfish ministry to others?  Am I living a full, unfenced life in Jesus, or have I corralled myself into a corner?  Does God have a bigger plan for me? 

I have decided, by the grace of God, to have a much closer walk with Him, to break down that fence of selfishness, give my time, my energy, my all to God.

Is there a boundary keeping you from God?

An Import's Best

Just in case you were wondering, I took this photo the day before yesterday.

I took this one the day before yesterday, too.  This last week the weather has been in the 60's and 70's.  Our trees are budding too.  Please pray for continuing warm weather and lots of rain, so we have a good crop this year.  It's not starting out well (temperatures should be in the teens right now.)

This Great-Horned Owl was on the Telephone Wire above our house tonight.  When it flew away, I saw that it's wingspan was probably about 4 feet. It was a giant!
