Wheresoever I go, Thou art with me! This great land of Kentucky, where Daniel Boone trudged his happy days through its wilderness, has graciously offered us a high cliff hollow of the most premium quality for our night's stay. Spring has finally triumphed over Winter's ruthless pursuit, and the fragrance of new birth fills the woods. Each infant leaf has burst from its casing and spread its arms in the strength of the season--exalting the Creator from its proper post. The voice of the birds contains the very substance of joy, and the ancient cliffs echo God's pleasure. My soul is awakened and stretches in the spaces of such newness and promise. My Lord is faithful to work the same miracle of renewal of my soul as overcomes all of Creation in the new season. The impact of God's testimony of life all around me charges my smile so that it cannot reach a happier expression. I praise God that I am welcome among His works, and I desire to live as naturally in the spirit of worship as the rest of Creation.
