Upgrade from the grill

I've told you before that I have a place of solitude at the altar of my grill. I burn little fires of sticks from my tree.

This morning I got to spend about 90 minutes with a good friend and fellow sojourner. He has built himself a cabin in the woods, and this morning he lit a great fire in the hearth. We sat together and reflected on life, church, and the questions as yet unanswered. It was a great time of renewal for me.

I wish I had a fireplace in my patio. It's a bit cold working out here.

I know where there's a kerosene heater that's not being used. Some blinds on the windows to block the air somewhat and you'll really feel the difference.

A man and his grill are certainly sacred territory. I not only share your grilling passion, but I also get a great connection with God in the outdoors. I think it takes a man pack to his primordial roots. In the dialect of Hybels, it is an awesome spiritual pathway and finding yours makes communion with God even more amazing.
