Delaney creek

I know. I know.

I know. I should

have been blogging.

But instead have

been "POKING

AROUND."

Remember, Jesus

is our supreme

example. The

Scriptures tell us,

"But he withdrew

to the wilderness

and prayed."

-Luke 5:16 RSV

Even he had to get away from people and alone with God the father.

Can you think of something better to do? I have been longing to get away

from the insanity of people. So following the Lord's example is the best

way I know.

The woods above are the wilderness I chose to hide in. And as you can

see below, there is a neat little creek there. This is "Delaney creek". And

much to your surprise, it runs through Delaney, Arkansas.

David, a man "after God's own heart" said,

"He leads me beside still water;

he restores my soul."

-Psalms 23:2

That's great advice. Grab your Bible. Head for the closest stream -

that is not crowded with people . And spend some time with God.

It restores my soul. I don't want to come back to so called civilization.

This is the pack mule I used this time. It works fine. There is room in

the hard bags, not only for my Bible, but snacks, water and more.

The best things is life are not, noise, confusion, working hard so

you can buy more things to take care of. Nor working you tail

off to impress your neighbors. Spending time with God will do

a lot more for you now and in the forever to come.

BEST PLACE TO EAT LUNCH

I appologize for the very poor photos.

The sunlight just would not cooperate.

And I could not wait half a day for the

proper light. (Yes, I have heard of filters.

But there are none for that little camera.)

This little picnic area is such a delight

I stop here each time I pass through the

area.

This is found on Hwy 74 in Madison County

Arkansas. Just a short distance East of Hwy.

23. Even when you are looking for it, you

will probably drive past it before really

seeing it.

The pictures do not do it justice. But if

you can ever get by there you will enjoy

just poking around looking the place over.

There has been a lot of work put into this

little picnic area. It deserves your attention

and enjoyment.

I have even found locals there who drove a

mile from the house just to enjoy the solitude.

It is areas like this that help me appreciate all

the more the wonderful things God has made.

And in this case man did not mess it up too

much.

May you be blessed with a "hide-a-way" to get

to and a time of tranquility often.
