June 2, 2011 Day 2

Psalm 5

What a beautiful day already. It's not even 8:00 and already and biked with my wife for 6 miles, watched the sun rise, and am currently once again enjoying the flowers off my back patio. God is GOOD! All the time.

Yesterday, was a great day for preparation. I purchased groceries for the first 20 days or so and have them in back packable form. I picked out the food for the first 8 days and discovered it weighed 8.5 lbs. That brings the pack weight to 46 lbs which is too heavy. I will take time today to trim down this weight so will only be carrying about 42 tlbs. I will get it there, I hope.

I walked yesterday about 5 miles with a 38 lbs pack. I walked around A.W. Marion lake. It has some nice hills but all are too short. I am sure i will get a workout this next week in the smoky mountains. While carrying baby Stu I may have to add some weight to really be getting into shape.

The Psalm this morning urges God to listen to our voice. I am feeling the opposite this morning. I am hearing God speak of his love for the world in the cooing calling of the Morning Dove, in the voice of the song birds. I feel it in the gentle breeze as it blows around my back. I see it in the beauty of my peonies and pansies.

God, In this day you have given me, give me a heart to see all you are doing to show your great love for this world. Amen.
