The Quiet House
August 1st, 2008 by Jim Martin

Quiet_House.jpgI just got back from spending time at "The Wayfarer’s House" (also known as "The Quiet House").  A very secluded place owned by Laity Lodge.  A wonderful place to think, pray, read, and hike.  Each morning, as I stepped outside, deer (5 or 6) were waiting to be fed.  Birds were eating from their feeders.  Squirrels were scampering across the grass.  

 
More later.

    Sounds like a great place to be.  We all need a thin place like this in life.

    Bill–Thank you for the kind words regarding the blog.  Will you check your blog address?  I tried to go to your blog but there is something missing or added to this address.  Thanks.

    Mary Ann– I suspect you are right.  I would guess there is something much closer to where you are.  Thanks.
