I was thinking today about the beach. I love the beach, especially on the East Coast. There was this island we used to visit called Block Island. You had to take an hour long trip on a ferry boat to get there. I loved to sit up front and feel the splash of the waves. Sometimes, you could see the island clearly and then other times it was covered in fog. We would take our bikes over on the ferry, so once we got there we would ride them to "the bluffs." It was nice to be able to take a nap on the beach after a long, exaustive ride on our bikes. I never swam in the water though, because there are great whites out there. It is just a nice place to think and pray. I think God created places like this on purpose for that reason. When the LORD fasted and prayed, He got away from the "hum-drum" of the world and went to a place where He could be alone. We need a place where we can just be alone with God. God is always speaking, I have learned, but the times when I can shut out all distraction is when I hear him the strongest. Don't make your heavenly father compete with everything going on in your life. Give him priority because you come first to Him.
