Quote

"I want you to know how very much I enjoyed staying at the Prayer Lookout. It was a privilege and I am very thankful. This was the best time alone that I've ever had with the Lord. I came here for solitude and rest away from the rush of life. I came away with more than I could have imagined: peace, healing, and refreshment. God met me here! What a sacred place this is! Again, thank you."

"Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, He said to them, 'Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." Mark 6:31
