Going for quiet....

Yesterday's Scripture was Jesus going to a "quiet place" to pray. (Mark 1:35)  So I was pointing out, in the Devotional blog and at the churches I serve, the need to be able to s-t-o-p and find a quiet place to be in prayer.  The need we ALL have to keep our relationship with God strong so we can continue to reach out and help each other.  It also gave several of us an opening for remembering someone's quiet place.  Like Susanna Wesley sitting down and pulling her apron up over her head.  ALL of the kids knew to be QUIET and leave her alone.

I also remembered Dad telling me about driving to the local cemetery, pulling into it and parking the car.  This was well before cell phones were even thought of let alone in use.  It gave him a quiet, peaceful (and beautiful!) place to think through his sermon or whatever else he was working on.  

I also learned, from my sister, how Dad would take the rowboat out from our grandparent's cabin.  He would go far enough out you couldn't "talk" to him.  IF we needed him we would have to wave our arms from the shoreline.  He would have his portable typewriter and paper with him so he could work in the QUIET.

So......... where do you go for QUIET?
