  • Here’s My Heart Lord

    The words echo in my mind, “Here’s my heart, Lord,” lyrics from a song. I listen to this song and make the words my prayer to the Lord. I offer Him my heart, open and with surrender. I offer Him my heart, with trust and hope. I offer Him my heart, with abandonment and joy.…

There are 21 islands in total which make up the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Madeline Island feels like you are stepping back in time. The speed limit is…

  • Rest

    Come away and find a quiet place of rest – to not “do” but just “be”. Let the silence envelop you, as it calls you to go deeper within yourself. To cast off the worries of the world and to listen to the inmost stirrings of your heart. My soul is restless until it rests…
