Doesn't the wilderness give you such a calm, peaceful feeling? It seems to bring you closer to God, allowing you to see what is left of His beautiful creations. The mountains and rivers, I find, are especially grand, seeming to rise to the height of all His glory.
This week, I will take a trip to see this beauty of His in a campground in the mountains. The wild rapids and scolding blue jays are the lesser of two evils when it comes to choosing from them and from reckless drivers and crowded parking lots.
I praise the Creator for this uplifting opportunity to live in His peaceful creations for a week. I'm eager to relax and truly feel the splendor and awesome works of the Lord.

Book Reviews
The Edge On The Sword
I found "The Edge on the Sword" to be a very interesting book. Full of adventure and struggles, this story held my interest securely. The deeds in the book are most heroic and touching, and Rebecca Tingle has written an extraordinary book. I give this book by biggest thumbs-up attitude and thank her for placing some values in this tale.
Francis and Clare: Saints of Assisi
This book has provided me with some insight of the faith. Helen Walker Homan portrayed St. Francis and St. Clare as they should be, giving up everything to serve God. He is our guide, and this book has shown me that we must put aside the pleasures in life, take up our cross, and follow Him. Thank you so much, Helen Homan, for writing this astounding book. I was very pleased with what I read.

The Lost Island of Tamarind - Book Review
I found The Lost Island of Tamarind an exhilarating book with adventure, fear, and excitement all rolled into one. This thrilling book written by Nadia Aguiar keeps the readers on the edge of their seats. At the end of each chapter, you can't wait to find what twists are waiting in the next.
Thirteen year old Maya and her ten year old brother, Simon, sail to an island where few have been - but they are separated from their parents in the process and left in the care of their eight-month-old sister, Penny. The two make their way on foot through a jungle with carnivorous vines and jaguars until a boy, Helix, comes to their aid. But Helix isn't your typical boy. He knows every path of the Lesser Islands of Greater Tamarind. He has ice blue eyes and rumpled brown hair, dark as walnuts. Three sharks teeth glitter on his necklace, and he has a parrot named Seagrape. Will Maya be surprised to hear the true story of how he lost his left ear later on? Or will she be shocked to find out that her father has become an old man with ivory hair? If you love adventures and stories with meaning in them, read The Lost Islands of Tamarind.

Earth Hour!
Do you care about saving energy? If you do, you should participate in Earth Hour! All you have to do is turn out your lights, computers and TV from 8:30 to 9:30 local time. If you still need light and want to have some fun, try eating dinner by candlelight, take a walk out under the stars, or play some card games by the fire with your family. Or perhaps you can even read to your family as you all snuggle on the coach together with a roaring fire as your light. Try it. You might find yourself become more relaxed and stress free using natural lighting.
